Book of Mormon Mosiah 16:1
"after Abinadi had spoken these words he stretched forth his hand"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 12:2
"And the Lord said unto me: Stretch forth thy hand and prophesy"

Shared words: forth

Command-and-execution pair inside the sermon cycle - the commission's imperative (12:2) is narrated as performed at the close (16:1). The phrase 'stretched forth his hand' recurs elsewhere in the corpus (2 Nephi 15:25; Alma 10:25, 13:21, 15:5, 19:12, 20:20, 32:7; Helaman 13:4; 3 Nephi 11:9, 12:1); the link is the in-Mosiah command/execution pairing, not the phrase's rarity. Reported as phrasing; the record does not comment on the repetition.
