Pearl of Great Price Moses 2:27
"And I, God, created man in mine own image, in the image of mine Only Begotten created I him; male and female created I them."
Old Testament Genesis 1:27
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

Shared words: own image, in the image of

Man made in the divine image, in near-identical words. Moses 2 renders the whole six-day account in the first-person divine voice ('I, God' stands 30 times in Moses 2 by literal substring count; Genesis 1 carries no first-person divine narration -- 'I, God' and 'I, the Lord God' each occur 0 times), so where Genesis reads 'God created' and 'in the image of God', Moses reads 'I, God, created' and 'in the image of mine Only Begotten'. Divergences: first-person voice; 'mine own image … mine Only Begotten' (Moses) where Genesis reads 'his own image … the image of God'; 'created I' / 'created he'. Reported as textual facts; class (d) same-discourse rendering, origin out of scope (see page disclosure).
