There's a funny story about how Joseph Smith stumbled onto that fact Davidius pointed out above, and promptly issued another "translation" that omitted all the italics.

Later "prophets" discovered how the sans-italics "translation" read so awkwardly, and put them all back in.

All under the inspiration of their god, presumably.

Just as their god led them to plagiarize the Masonic temple ritual and put it into the "Book of Abraham."
