Book of Mormon Jacob 1:3

Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 19:4
"these plates should be handed down from one generation to another, or from one prophet to another"

Shared words: these plates

Shared distinctive phrasing: 'hand them down' (Jacob 1:3) / 'handed down' (1 Nephi 19:4) + 'generation' applied to 'these plates'. The standing transmission instruction Nephi embedded at the plates' creation arrives in Jacob 1:3 as a personal charge to a named successor.
