Book of Mormon Jacob 4:5
"we keep the law of Moses, it pointing our souls to him"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 11:4
"the law of Moses been given; and all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the typifying of him"

The same hermeneutic stated in each writer's own verb — 'pointing' (Jacob) vs 'typifying' (Nephi); neither verse quotes the other, so typed honestly as paraphrase. Jacob 4:5 then supplies a named instance Nephi did not: Abraham's offering of Isaac, 'which is a similitude of God and his Only Begotten Son.'
