It's basically in the title, I was reading through Exodus 22 and came across this symbol. (It's before and after 22, I just noticed it then). Does anyone have a certain idea about what it stands for? The only thing that I could think of it being related to is it either makes the beginning of a line in the earliest manuscripts of the Bible or that its the end of a certain important piece of doctrine. Could someone please help me with this?
P. S I could not find it in the Book of Mormon so I'm leaning more towards the former reasoning.

Re: Meaning of the "¶" symbol
Roughly, verses are sentences and these markers indicate the start of a new paragraph or "section".
