Isaiah in the Book of Mormon

For the Isaiah passages and chapters that appear in the Book of Mormon, there are now web-pages that will make it easy to compare the Hebrew, King James translation and Book of Mormon texts.

Some internet browsers handle Hebrew better than others.  Apple’s Safari seems to work best (while Mozilla Firefox and Google’s Chrome create some problems).

Much credit should be given to Victor Ludlow and the scripture reference list he put together, which came in very handy as a resource.

The Malachi Chapters in the Book of Mormon

The Hebrew Bible book of Malachi has only 3 chapters.  In the King James Bible, this chapter three is divided into a chapter 3 and a chapter 4.

For the sake of comparison, I have entered the Hebrew verses and the King James Bible verses alongside the verses of 3 Nephi Chapter 24 and 3 Nephi Chapter 25.

3 Nephi Chapter 24 (comparable to KJV Malachi Chapter 3 and Hebrew Bible Malachi Chapter 3) – verse 1

3 Nephi Chapter 25 (comparable to KJV Malachi Chapter 4 and Hebrew Bible Malachi Chapter 3) – verse 1

It makes sense to read 3 Nephi Chapter 24 and 3 Nephi Chapter 25 as if they were a single chapter – they clearly fit together as a single document or revelation.

In my experience so far, the Hebrew text/verses appears best in Apple’s Safari browser (for either Apple or PC computers).  Other browsers seem to distort the text or remove crucial letters and diacritics.
