Shared words: and deliver this people out of bondage

'deliver this people out of bondage' occurs at exactly these two verses in the corpus to date: Gideon's offer to king Limhi in the first narrative, and the Lord's commission to Alma in the second. Both sentences are first-person 'I will' promises attached to a human leader who goes before the people - in one the speaker is the servant, in the other the Lord who sends the servant. Key mirror evidence for the paired-deliverances structure (see mos-bond-mirrored-deliverances).
