Notes
23:15
It is interesting to note that the words, "That is joined" is a mistranslation in the King James Bible, and should be rendered "who is caught/captured" as reflected in modern translations. This is another example of the Book of Mormon author's usage and dependence of the KJV, even when the KJV translation is in error.
