Although it is possible that the difficulty in understanding the plural led to its being changed by copyists to the singular, a majority of the UBS Textual Committee felt that it was so difficult to understand that it could not be original. The omission of the prepositional phrase by several translations is probably translational rather than textual.

KJV NIV : The translations in braces have either “mountain” in italics, indicating that the word is not in the Greek text, or “Sinai” (NEB). Since NIV and TEV do not use italics to indicate added words, it is likely that they also follow a text that omits “mountain.” Since the word “mountain” is found both before and after “felt of” in the evidence supporting it, it is likely that it was added by copyists to make the meaning clear.
