200 conform to KJ Bible
234 don't conform to KJ Bible
Quoted in OT/NT and Book of Mormon
The non-conformity is interesting because this connects with the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are
the oldest copy of the scriptures we have, and aren't as old as the brass plates. So the brass
plates aren't as far removed from the original as the scrolls or the KJB.
Evidence that Joseph didn't just copy them all from the bible.
He's writing about our day
AN EVIDENCE:
Modern Scholars speak of Three Isaiahs:
Same Person- Assyria
Same Person- Babylon

(Wrote of Persia which Isaiah "couldn't've known" about.)
But... a prophet who could've seen the future could've probably seen Persia.
Eastern writing traditions - CORRECT ANSWER Poetic
Mixture of tenses
