Shared words: grievous to be borne

Cross-book: Limhi describes his people's Lamanite bondage with the phrase Nephi used for Israel's Egyptian bondage - in-bondage + burden-noun + 'grievous to be borne'. Distribution of 'grievous to be borne': five verses in the record — 1 Nephi 17:25, Mosiah 2:14 (Benjamin's counter-image, the burden 'grievous to be borne' he refused to lay), Mosiah 7:15, Mosiah 7:23, and Ether 10:5 (Riplakish's taxes, 'grievous to be borne') — with two further corpus occurrences at Matthew 23:4 and Luke 11:46 (Christ's woe on burdens 'grievous to be borne'). Supports the Exodus recital (Mosiah 7:19-20, hosted on limhi.md) as the bondage theme's charter.
