Yes I found it when I typed Genesis 50:33 into a search engine it came up with the LDS version of the Bible.

Too funny and so sad at the same time.
So who supposedly gave him authority to change the Bible? An angel? God?

The official Mormon answer is: God.
Joseph Smith did not take it upon himself to revise and translate the Bible; he was commanded and appointed by the Lord to do the work. On March 7, 1831, he was instructed by revelation to begin the translation of the New Testament:
“And now, behold, I say unto you, it shall not be given Unto you to know any further concerning this chapter, until the New Testament be translated, and in it all these things shall be made known;
Wherefore, I give unto you that ye may now translate it, that ye may be prepared for the things to come.” (D&C 45:60–61.)
In a revelation that completely stretches the usual meaning of the word “translate”.
