Book of Mormon Ether 8:20
"And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had among all people, and they are had among the Lamanites"
Book of Mormon Alma 37:27
"I command you that ye retain all their oaths, and their covenants, and their agreements in their secret abominations; yea, and all their signs and their wonders ye shall keep from this people, that they know them not"

The withheld-oaths embargo, honored a third time and by a third hand. Alma commanded Helaman to withhold the manner of the Jaredite oaths (Alma 37:27, span 37:27-32); Mormon then certified that the embargo held (hel-sc-alma-embargo-certified, Helaman 6:25 <-> Alma 37:27); and here Moroni, abridging the very Jaredite record whose oaths Alma had sealed, deliberately declines to write 'the manner of their oaths and combinations' (Ether 8:20). The shared elements are the 'oaths' language and the specific editorial act it governs -- withholding the MANNER of the oaths from the reader -- a continuity of the embargo across three keepers. Typed paraphrase: the binding element is the editorial practice plus the common 'oaths' lexeme rather than a distinctive multi-word phrase; the sibling record for the same Alma 37:27 relationship (hel-sc-alma-embargo-certified) is likewise paraphrase.
