"Behold, the man is become as one of us to know good and evil; and now lest he put forth his hand and partake also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever,"
Old Testament Genesis 3:22
"Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:"

Both read 'the man is become as one of us' with 'to know good and evil'; then Moses 'partake also of the tree of life' against Genesis 'take also of the tree of life,' Moses closing live-forever as one word, Genesis as two. Divergences: Moses 'partake also' vs Genesis 'take also'; 'live forever' (Moses, one word) vs 'live for ever' (Genesis). The same clause is expounded in the Book of Mormon (Moses 4:28 is the companion clause noted at pogp-mos-01; Alma 42:3 <-> Genesis 3:22 registered separately as alma-eden-as-god); this record is the Moses <-> Genesis leg.
