Book of Mormon Mosiah 11:3
"And he laid a tax of one fifth part of all they possessed"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 19:15
"deliver up their property, even one half of all they possessed"

Shared words: of all they possessed

Corpus-wide grep: the measuring template — a fraction joined to 'of all they possessed' — occurs only in this colony's story - 'one fifth part of all they possessed' (Mosiah 11:3, Noah's tax) and 'one half of all they possessed' (Mosiah 19:15, repeated at 19:22 and 19:26, the Lamanite tribute). Both verses also itemize gold and silver next. The shared measuring formula is textual fact; the fifth-to-half escalation as a designed contrast is left to the reader, not asserted.
