Book of Mormon Mosiah 21:28
"king Mosiah had a gift from God, whereby he could interpret such engravings"
Book of Mormon Omni 1:20
"he did interpret the engravings by the gift and power of God"

Shared words: interpret

Interpret + engravings + a gift of/from God co-occur at exactly these two verses (Mosiah 8:11 'able to interpret the language or the engravings' lacks the gift). Omni's subject is Mosiah I; the 'king Mosiah' of 21:28 is his grandson (Benjamin is Mosiah I's son, Omni 1:23; the reigning Mosiah is Benjamin's, Mosiah 1:2). Distinct pairing from mos-ammon-gift-retold (8:13-21:28, ammon-of-zarahemla.md) and sb-mosiah-giftpower (Omni 1:20-1 Nephi 13:35, mosiah-i.md).
