Differences between the KJV and JST OT 1 and OT 2 of Genesis 19:24 (JST: v. 31)

KJV Gen 19:24 reads:

 

Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.

 

Both OT 1 and OT 2 of the JST reads differently, and seems to downplay the potential for this as an Old Testament “proof-text” for two Yahwehs/LORDs:

 

Old Testament Manuscript 1, p. 48:

 



 

the Lord reghned rained upon Sodom and upon Gom =morrah for the Angels called up<on> the name of the Lord for brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven

 

Old Testament Manuscript 2, p. 49:

 



 

the Lord rained upon Sodom& upon Gomorrah, fire & brimstone for the Angel<s> called upon the name of the Lord for brimstone & fire, from the Lord out of Heaven[,]<;>

 

This passage in the 1867 RLDS Inspired Version reads:

 

And then, when Lot had entered into Zoar, the Lord rained upon Sodom, and upon Gomorrah; for the angels called upon the name of the Lord for brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. (Gen 19:31 in the JST versification)
