Shared words: blotted out

Benjamin's conditional warning (first given at 1:12 'except it be through transgression') is executed as church discipline under the revealed charter; supporting clause 26:32 'whosoever will not repent of his sins the same shall not be numbered among my people'. The phrase 'blotted out' occurs at seven verses in the record: Mosiah 1:12, 5:11, 26:36; Alma 1:24, 5:57, 6:3 (the Alma continuation); and Moroni 6:7 ('their names were blotted out', the church-order rubric). Six further corpus verses carry it (Acts 3:19, Isaiah 44:22, Nehemiah 4:5, Psalms 69:28, 109:13, 109:14) — the Old/New Testament well of the blotting-out-of-a-name image. The internal 1:12/5:11 pair is left to the king-benjamin extension.
