Book of Mormon Ether 12:13
"it was the faith of Alma and Amulek that caused the prison to tumble to the earth"
Book of Mormon Alma 14:27
"the walls of the prison were rent in twain, so that they fell to the earth"

First hero in Moroni's faith-litany (Ether 12:13-17), his own register-index of prior Nephite faith-miracles. Paraphrase: Moroni's diction 'the prison to tumble to the earth' for the deliverance Alma 14:27 narrates as the walls 'rent in twain' (Alma and Amulek at Ammonihah, the earthquake that slew their tormentors). DISTINCT VERSE-PAIR from 3ne-three-prison-rent (3 Nephi 28:19 <-> Alma 14:27), which shares the same far end but pairs it on the 'rent in twain' wording. RECOUNT: the word 'tumble' proper stands at SEVEN corpus verses -- 1 Nephi 12:4; 1 Nephi 22:14; 2 Nephi 28:18; Helaman 5:27; Helaman 5:31; Mormon 8:24; Ether 12:13 (matches the register's existing tumble count in the two-churches.md note; the 'stumble' hits, incl. Ether 12:25, are excluded). Moroni's OTHER faith-index at Mormon 8:24 re-lists this exact class -- 'by the power of his word did they cause prisons to tumble to the earth; yea, even the fiery furnace could not harm them, neither wild beasts' -- so the prison-tumble diction is Moroni's own signature across both his indexes. x-link 3ne-three-prison-rent.
