Prof. Jackson of BYU has given this description of the first dictation method: The evidence tells us that he [Smith] had the Bible in front of him, likely in his lap or on a table, and that he read from it while his scribes wrote. When he came to a passage needing revision, he would dictate words not found in the King James text until he came back to that text and continued with it...The scribes may not have known when he was simply reading and when he was uttering words not found on the printed page
Notes :
Complete quote: The evidence tells us that he [Smith] had the Bible in front of him, likely in his lap or on a table, and that he read from it while his scribes wrote. When he came to a passage needing revision, he would dictate words not found in the King James text until he came back to that text and continued with it. The writing on the manuscripts shows no indication of when the text was coming out of the printed Bible and when it was coming through revelation. The scribes may not have known when he was simply reading and when he was uttering words not found on the printed page.Kent P.
