Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 15:9
"I am the law, and the light. Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live"
Book of Mormon Alma 33:19
"whosoever would look upon it might live. And many did look and live"

Shared words: Look

The look-and-live formula of the brazen-serpent chain, now stated in the first person by the type's referent: Christ says 'Look unto me … ye shall live', with 'endure to the end' fused in. Alma 33:19 states the type's lesson ('look upon it might live … look and live'). Extends the serpent chain without duplicating it: the look-and-perish irony is alma-serpent-look-perish (1 Nephi 17:41 <-> Alma 33:20), the cast-the-eyes verb is alma-serpent-cast-eyes (2 Nephi 25:20 <-> Alma 33:21), and the named 'brazen serpent' leg is hel-msh-brazen-serpent (Helaman 8:15 <-> Alma 33:19). This record pairs 3 Nephi 15:9 with Alma 33:19's look-and-live clause; 1 Nephi 17:41 and Helaman 8:14-15 are the other legs. The full one-to-one typological mapping is flagged interpretive on this page's Alma/Helaman sections; this record registers only the shared look-and-live phrasing, not typological intent. Numbers 21, the brazen-serpent source, is in-corpus (frozen) — noted, not drawn as this record's link.
