Shared words: a gift from God

The phrase 'a gift from God' occurs at exactly three verses in the corpus: Mosiah 8:13, 8:14 ('this high gift from God'), 21:28 - all of this one gift of translation. 21:28 is the record-of-Limhi thread's summary of the ch. 8 seer dialogue, naming Ammon as its source ('from the mouth of Ammon'). Distinct from the reserved seer-doctrine records (8:13 / 1 Nephi 13:35 etc., hosted on coming-forth-of-scripture.md). Raw at 21:28 reads 'king Mosiah' - quoted as-is.
