Transcription

Finally, Joe claims his plates were written in Reformed Egyptian when the authors were Hebrews. Imagine a Hebrew putting the Word of God in any language save that he believes God gave him in Eden! Joe’s own book, page 530, contradicts him. Then the plates are gold, and the Hebrews wrote only on papyrus and parchment, and their Scripture were all in rolls.
