Question: Does Gilbert Hunt's book The Late War contain rare phrases that do not appear in other works but only appear in the Book of Mormon?
Is the phrase "a mock and a bye-word among all nations" rare?
In order to make this phrase "rare," the critics note that "mock" is synonymous with "hiss"
- The Late War 2:9: "a mock and a bye-word among all nations"
- Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 19:14: "a hiss and a by-word, and be hated among all nations"
The core phrase "a byword, among all nations" is not rare
- Deuteronomy 28:37: "a byword, among all nations"
- 2 Chronicles 7:20: "a byword among all nations"
