Book of Mormon Mosiah 25:1
"And now king Mosiah caused that all the people should be gathered together"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 2:1
"the people gathered themselves together throughout all the land, that they might go up to the temple to hear the words which king Benjamin should speak unto them"

The book's two all-people assemblies at Zarahemla run the same sequence: gathering (2:1 / 25:1); the king's words carried beyond his voice (2:8 written and sent forth / 25:5-6 records read); structured collective response (4:1-2 / 25:7-11); a name taken (5:8 / 25:12-13); covenant or baptism (6:1 / 25:17-18). Verbal contact is generic ('gathered together'), the parallel is sequence-level, and the text never marks the second assembly as patterned on the first - hedged. Related but distinct verbally-exact pair: mos-limhi-proclamation-temple (7:17 <-> 1:18, limhi.md).
