Book of Mormon Alma 32:42
"which is sweet above all that is sweet, and which is white above all that is white"
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 8:11
"it was most sweet, above all that I ever before tasted"

Shared words: sweet above all that

Alma's seed sermon names as a growing tree ('a tree springing up unto everlasting life', 32:41) what Lehi's dream showed full-grown, in the dream's own superlative grammar. The displayed Alma quote spans BOTH of Alma's clauses (sweet and white); the contiguous 1 Nephi match is the SWEET clause alone - 1 Nephi 8:11's white parallel ('white, to exceed all the whiteness that I had ever seen') sits in a separate sentence, confirming evidence in the note, not part of the contiguous pair.
