Shared words: of the heavenly gift

The tight shared span is the distinctive noun-phrase 'the heavenly gift,' at exactly THREE corpus loci (Ether 12:8, 4 Nephi 1:3, Hebrews 6:4). 'partakers' also stands in both ends, but bound to different objects, reported as a fact: Ether 'partakers of the heavenly gift'; Hebrews 'tasted of the heavenly gift … partakers of the Holy Ghost'. Ether 12:8 already anchors the internal record eth-atone-heavenly-gift (Ether 12:8 <-> 4 Nephi 1:3, hosted atonement.md, which shares the fuller string 'partakers of the heavenly gift'); this adds the Hebrews 6:4 endpoint the same note had treated as diction-only before the NT freeze -- now legal. If a later editorial review judges a two-content-word span ('heavenly gift') below the register's bar, this record can be withdrawn on its own; the other eight do not depend on it.
