Book of Mormon Alma 5:57
"come ye out from the wicked, and be ye separate, and touch not their unclean things"
Old Testament Isaiah 52:11
"Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean"

Shared words: ye out from

The book of Alma's single Isaiah contact. Alma's separation call carries Isaiah 52:11's command-cluster - three imperatives in sequence: leave, separate/clean, and the touch-prohibition. Alma re-addresses Isaiah's command (originally to those who 'bear the vessels of the LORD' departing Babylon) to the church's separation from the wicked. The text does not name Isaiah; the distinctiveness of the cluster supports the dependence. The verse's OTHER citation ('The names of the wicked shall not be mingled with the names of my people') has no identifiable source in or out of the corpus - citation gap, logged.
