    You ‘all need a bit more work on your Mormon lore.

    1:11:10 Pe Le El
    Not crudely modified English, Joseph had Hebrew language lessons.
    Pe- Mouth
    Le-to
    El-Elohim

    Mouth to God, Oh God hear the words of my mouth.

      That is true but all you did was further demonstrate the farce because Joseph went on to mirror the adamic language after Hebrew. El is god in Hebrew but ahman is god in adamic.

    Another good translation story is the Greek Psalter.

    You guys are really stretching with the pale ale bologna.

    Does anyone actually know how early mormons actually pronounced pay lay ale?

    Maybe “ale” was pronounced “ah-lay”……like a Latin pronunciation. It bears a strong resemblance to “allah”, doesn’t it?

    Stick to the evidence please. Wild conjecture isn’t consistent with your stated objectives for this series.
