Pearl of Great Price Abraham 2:11

Old Testament Genesis 12:3
"I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed"

Shared words: I will bless them that bless thee, and curse

The covenant's blessing-and-cursing and families-of-the-earth clauses. Shared distinctive frame: 'I will bless them that bless thee' at both ends — Abraham 'and curse them that curse thee', Genesis 'and curse him that curseth thee' — and the families-blessing close: Abraham 'shall all the families of the earth be blessed,' Genesis 'shall all families of the earth be blessed' (Abraham 2:11 reads '… shall all the families of the earth be blessed'). Reported differences, not scored: 'them that curse' (Abraham) vs 'him that curseth' (Genesis). NOTE: Abraham 2:11 already anchors the existing record pogp-abr-01 (Abraham 2:11 ∥ 1 Nephi 22:9, the Book-of-Mormon citation of the seed-blessing) — this is a DIFFERENT verse-pair (Abraham 2:11 ∥ Genesis 12:3), legal, no collision; cross-referenced. Class (d) same-discourse rendering; origin out of scope; asserted_by wiki.
