Book of Mormon Mosiah 13:33
"did not Moses prophesy unto them concerning the coming of the Messiah, and that God should redeem his people"
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 22:20
"unto the fulfilling of the words of Moses, which he spake, saying: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, like unto me"

INTERPRETIVE: that the two passages intend the SAME Mosaic prophecy is not stated by the text. Abinadi asserts only that Moses prophesied of the Messiah, without quoting Moses; Nephi quotes the prophet-like-unto-me oracle and applies it to 'the Holy One of Israel' (1 Nephi 22:21).
