Book of Mormon Mosiah 23:5
"And they pitched their tents, and began to till the ground, and began to build buildings"

Shared words: began to build buildings

Corpus-wide grep: 'build buildings' occurs at exactly three verses - 2 Nephi 5:15 (Nephi founding the place Nephi), Mosiah 9:8 (Zeniff resettling the same land), Mosiah 23:5 (Alma's company founding Helam); the exact form 'began to build buildings' only at the two Mosiah verses. Both colony notices also pair it with tilling: 'we began to till the ground' (Mosiah 9:9) / 'began to till the ground' (23:5). The repeated settlement formula is distribution fact; no claim is made that either writer alludes to the other.
