Book of Mormon Helaman 8:11
"they parted hither and thither, insomuch that the Israelites, who were our fathers, came through upon dry ground, and the waters closed upon the armies of the Egyptians and swallowed them up"
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 4:2
"they divided hither and thither, and our fathers came through, out of captivity, on dry ground, and the armies of Pharaoh did follow and were drowned in the waters of the Red Sea"

Shared words: dry ground, and the

Nephi son of Helaman recites the Red Sea crossing with the Exodus chain's signature triple: parted/divided hither-and-thither + dry-ground + drowned-armies -- the same wording Nephi son of Lehi used in his rallying speech to his brothers. Extends the registered Exodus chain (mos-limhi-redsea-dry-ground; 1 Nephi 17:26-27 carries the dry-ground pair).
