Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 3:4
"I am a descendant of Joseph who was carried captive into Egypt"
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 5:14
"he was a descendant of Joseph; yea, even that Joseph who was the son of Jacob, who was sold into Egypt"

Cross-book: both verses identify Lehi as 'a descendant of Joseph' and identify Joseph by the same event — taken into Egypt. The verb differs ('carried captive' vs 'sold'), so typed as clear paraphrase rather than verbatim; the shared 'a descendant of Joseph' frame grounds it textually.
