Book of Mormon Jacob 1:1
"Nephi gave me, Jacob, a commandment concerning the small plates"
Book of Mormon Jacob 7:27
"I told him the things which my brother Nephi had commanded me, and he promised obedience unto the commands"

The back-reference is verbal: 'the things which my brother Nephi had commanded me,' said while handing over the plates, shares the commandment-lexeme ('a commandment', 1:1; 'had commanded me', 7:27) + 'Nephi' with 1:1 and points to the only Nephi-to-Jacob commandment the book records. The book's last verse executes its first.
