Book of Mormon Mosiah 16:3
"did beguile our first parents, which was the cause of their fall"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 9:9
"to that being who beguiled our first parents"

Shared words: our first parents

The beguile-our-first-parents family occurs in the corpus only in Mosiah 16:3, 2 Nephi 9:9, and Ether 8:25 (the exact past-tense string 'beguiled our first parents' stands at 2 Nephi 9:9 and Ether 8:25; Mosiah 16:3 reads 'beguile'). Ether 8:25 sits in Moroni's secret-combination genealogy (the hel-sc-first-parents chain). One Mosiah verse braids two distinct small-plates formulas (Lehi's 'that old serpent', Jacob's 'beguiled our first parents') into one clause; whether by inheritance or coincidence the text does not say. Second record on the same near-verse as mos-abinadi-old-serpent, with a different far end.
