Book of Mormon Mormon 9:2
"the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat"
Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 26:3
"the elements should melt with fervent heat, and the earth should be wrapt together as a scroll"

Shared words: together as a scroll

The stronger of the two scroll pairs -- it shares BOTH distinctive clauses: 'melt with fervent heat' (2 record hits: 3 Ne 26:3, Mormon 9:2; corpus-wide the frozen 2 Peter 3:10, 2 Peter 3:12 and D&C 101:25 carry it too — five corpus verses, recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze) and 'together as a scroll'. 3 Ne 26:3 orders them melt-then-scroll; Mormon 9:2 orders them scroll-then-melt. A textual variant: 'rolled' (9:2) vs 'wrapt' (3 Ne 26:3). Companion record morm-cov-scroll-command (Mormon 5:23 <-> 3 Ne 26:3) carries only the scroll clause. This is a distinct verse-pair from morm-cov-scroll-command (shared far-end 3 Ne 26:3, different near-end). Cross-linked to messiah.md.
