Book of Mormon Mosiah 12:8
"yet they shall leave a record behind them, and I will preserve them for other nations which shall possess the land; yea, even this will I do that I may discover the abominations of this people to other nations"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 28:15
"And they have been kept and preserved by the hand of the Lord, that he should discover to every creature who should possess the land the iniquities and abominations of his people"

Shared words: possess the land

The cluster discover + abominations + possess the land occurs at exactly these two verses ('discover' elsewhere in the corpus means find/espy, not disclose, except 2 Nephi 13:17/Isaiah 3:17). Abinadi's threat over Noah's people and the interpreters' purpose-statement use the same preserved-record-discloses-abominations-to-land-possessors formula. The pattern-reading (24-plates translation as the principle demonstrated) is separate and hedged, not part of this record's claim.
