Try again. It was a translation. The ability to translate was provided by God, but the translation was done by Joseph Smith; he didn't take dictation.

Oh, so the translation while Joseph Smith was wearing the magic glasses of the buried and never found tablets with the book of Mormon written in Egyptian hieroglyphics was actually,

somehow,

written in Hieroglyphics from Egypt but

happened to be written in King James English?

Huh?

I'd like to see the magic glasses, while you're at it. What did Smith say happened to them?
