Book of Mormon Mosiah 6:4
"making in the whole, about four hundred and seventy-six years from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 29:46
"making in the whole, five hundred and nine years from the time Lehi left Jerusalem"

Shared words: making in the whole

'making in the whole' occurs at three verses in the record under a punctuation-insensitive rule (Mosiah 6:4, 29:46; Mormon 3:4); as an exact string it is two - Mosiah 6:4 and 29:46 - since Mormon 3:4 reads 'making, in the whole,' with commas. The Mosiah pair brackets the reign the whole book spans, Mormon 3:4 dates the last war's onset. Arithmetic self-consistent: 509-476=33, matching 'the thirty and third year of his reign' (29:46), with 6:4's 'about' absorbing rounding.
