Moses 1:15 in OT 1 reading "blackness" not "darkness"

 In our current text of the Book of Moses 1:15 in the Pearl of Great Price, our current text reads:

 

Blessed be the name of my God, for his Spirit hath not altogether withdrawn from me, or else where is thy glory, for it is darkness unto me? And I can judge between thee and God; for God said unto me: Worship God, for him only shalt thou serve.

 

However, in OT 1, the has "blackness," not "darkness":

 

blessed be the name of my God for his Spirit hath not altogether withdrawn from m[e] or else where is thy glory for it is blackness unto me & I can Judge between thee & God for God said unto me Worship God for him only shalt thou serve
