I don't want to be dragged into this particular argument. I will say though that I actually heard one of the hardest of the hardcore apologists at FARMS say in response to this point, "Well, I think Joseph probably had the Isaiah passages memorized and that could explain the verbatim agreements." I'm not arguing against that [though IMO it can't explain the departures from KJV *only* at italicized places], but I'm just pointing out that there is really no response from the apologists other than to say that Joseph's copying was from memory, and therefore more involuntary than voluntary. That brings Joseph through the issue looking the best, anyway.

From a scholarly perspective, you're correct I think. The copying isn't nearly as big a problem as the anachronism of having 2nd Isaiah on the brass plates, as well as the other problems relating to history and chronology. |

the point was that the original manuscript had the italicized words, when you said they had everything but. so there's no need to claim Joseph had everything memorized, etc. i do believe he copy and pasted, but it doesn't vitiate his claim to prophethood.

I even think is possible he read or received revelation regarding some quotes from Isaiah, looked them up in the KJV and added by midrash some of the provision of DeuteroIsaiah, unless we're mistaken as the timing of DeutorIsaiah.
I'm not convinced JS performed an academic translation but more or less a prophetic midrashic translation work.
