Book of Mormon Alma 46:23
"we are a remnant of the seed of Joseph, whose coat was rent by his brethren into many pieces"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 9:53
"he has promised unto us that our seed shall not utterly be destroyed, according to the flesh, but that he would preserve them; and in future generations they shall become a righteous branch unto the house of Israel"

INTERPRETIVE - weigh-this. Moroni's remnant-of-Joseph framing (46:23-27) converges thematically with the 2 Nephi seed-preservation promises over Joseph's line (2 Ne 9:53; 3:3-5 companion). Cautions: (1) Moroni cites a DIFFERENT source - the unrecorded Jacob-on-the-coat saying (gap reported on title-of-liberty.md) - so convergence, not quotation; (2) 'remnant' + 'seed of Joseph' are common covenant idiom.
