Book of Mormon Mosiah 11:13
"which had been a resort for the children of Nephi at the time they fled out of the land"
Book of Mormon Omni 1:12
"he being warned of the Lord that he should flee out of the land of Nephi"

Mosiah 11:13 glances back at a flight of 'the children of Nephi … out of the land'. The only such flight in the prior record is Mosiah I's exodus (Omni 1:12-13). The verbal overlap — 11:13 'fled out of the land', Omni 1:12 'flee out of the land of Nephi' — is short and common, and 11:13 names no leader and no date, so the identification with Omni 1:12 is the natural reading, not a stated one; an earlier unrecorded flight is not ruled out.
