Book of Mormon Mosiah 7:19
"that God who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, and caused that they should walk through the Red Sea on dry ground"
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 17:26
"by his word the waters of the Red Sea were divided hither and thither, and they passed through on dry ground"

Independent wording, same recital, same rhetorical function: both speakers invoke the Exodus before a discouraged audience to argue that the God who delivered then can deliver now (1 Nephi 17:25 'the children of Israel were in bondage… brought out of bondage'; Mosiah 7:33 'deliver you out of bondage'). Companion clause registered at mos-limhi-fed-with-manna.
