Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 17:41
"the labor which they had to perform was to look; and because of the simpleness of the way, or the easiness of it, there were many who perished"
Book of Mormon Alma 33:20
"But there were many who were so hardened that they would not look, therefore they perished. Now the reason they would not look is because they did not believe that it would heal them."

Shared words: there were many who

Brass-serpent typology, third telling (Alma 33:19-22), fusing Nephi's two accounts. The look-and-perish irony: Nephi attributes the perishing to 'the easiness of it', Alma to hardness/unbelief. Companions: alma-serpent-cast-eyes (this page), alma-liahona-easiness-look (liahona.md). Numbers 21, the brazen-serpent source, is in-corpus (frozen) — a legal endpoint, noted rather than drawn as this record's link.
