Book of Mormon Mormon 7:8
"the record which shall come unto the Gentiles from the Jews, which record shall come from the Gentiles unto you"
Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 16:4
"these sayings which ye shall write shall be kept and shall be manifested unto the Gentiles, that through the fulness of the Gentiles, the remnant of their seed"

Both texts describe the SAME transmission route for the record -- from the Jews, unto the Gentiles, and through the Gentiles to the scattered remnant. Mormon 7:8 states the two-step route plainly ('come unto the Gentiles from the Jews, … from the Gentiles unto you'); 3 Ne 16:4 gives the Lord's fuller version (the written sayings 'manifested unto the Gentiles, that through the fulness of the Gentiles, the remnant of their seed … may be brought in'). The binding contact is the ROUTE (Jews->Gentiles->remnant), not a distinctive shared phrase -- hence interpretive. The same route recurs at 3 Ne 26:8 ('brought again unto this people, from the Gentiles').
