I always laugh at the faux-King James mormon language, and am amazed how anyone believed in it, either in the 1800’s and now.

I guess the imitation King James English was supposed to make the book look ‘authentic’ to the early 19th century audience. Somehow the Egyptian on Joseph Smith’s golden plates didn’t translate into the English of 1820 and instead affected a style that Shakespeare would have recognized.
