Shared words: awake, and arise from the dust

The exact phrase 'arise from the dust' stands at exactly four corpus verses: Lehi's deathbed summons three times (2 Nephi 1:14 'Awake! and arise from the dust'; 1:21 'arise from the dust, my sons, and be men'; 1:23 '…and arise from the dust') and Moroni's final chapter once ('And awake, and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem', Moroni 10:31) — the record's first discourse-speech and its last chapter carry the same awake-and-arise pairing, a positional fact reported as such (whether the bookending is deliberate design is not asserted). Both ends stand in Isaiah-52:2 territory ('Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem' KJV; the corpus transcription 2 Nephi 8:25 tracks it) — each REWORKS the oracle's dust-language rather than quoting it, Lehi toward his sons, Moroni toward Jerusalem/Zion; the reworking-relation is disclosed, the Isaiah leg belongs to moro-isa-awake-close (Moroni 10:31 <-> Isaiah 52:1, isaiah.md). 1:14 is the tightest of Lehi's three (the only one pairing 'Awake!' immediately with 'arise from the dust', matching Moroni's 'awake, and arise'); 1:21/1:23 carried here. Distinct verse-pair from moro-isa-awake-close and moro-cov-house-israel-close (shared near-end Moroni 10:31, different far ends — no collision). Related record on the hosting page: 2ne-lehi-awake-arise (2 Nephi 1:13 <-> 1:23, the internal bracket) — different pair, cross-linked.
