They discuss the possibility that being from Manasseh created an opportunity to be trained in Egyptian. They talk about the influence of that literacy and training in Egyptian on the Book of Mormon.An article that touches on much of this was written by Kerry and is available at https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1003&context=facpub.We are grateful for our sponsor, Lisa Spice, and our producer, BJ Muhlestein, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.
