32 And now, behold, we have written this record according to our knowledge, in the characters which are called among us the reformed Egyptian, being handed down and altered by us, according to our manner of speech.
33 And if our plates had been sufficiently large we should have written in Hebrew; but the Hebrew hath been altered by us also; and if we could have written in Hebrew, behold, ye would have had no imperfection in our record.
34 But the Lord knoweth the things which we have written, and also that none other people knoweth our language; and because that none other people knoweth our language, therefore he hath prepared means for the interpretation thereof.
Suggested addition:
"And because that means of interpretation was a convicted fraud's peep stone and a hat, people knoweth not why we believeth. Thus, it is encumbered upon the apostle's of the church to altereth, and altereth, and altereth - less even the LDS faithful fall away (and reverteth back into presbyterianism)."
According to the text, it sounds like the reformed Egyptian was handed down to them and then they altered the reformed Egyptian according to their speech.
It is just too bad there just wasn't enough room on those plates to write in Hebrew! Now you are left with a prophecy of imperfection.
I had never caught that even the LDS scripture claims to be imperfect. So, resty, where exactly are these referenced imperfections?
