Book of Mormon Mosiah 10:16
"took the records which were engraven on the plates of brass, for they said that he robbed them"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 5:12
"brought the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass"

Shared words: the records which were engraven

Same object, same designation, opposite verbs of judgment: Nephi's own record says he 'brought' the records; the Lamanite tradition Zeniff catalogs says he 'took' them and 'robbed' his brethren. One variation inside the designation: 'on' (10:16) vs 'upon' (5:12). The full grievance catalog (10:12-17) is hosted on laman-and-lemuel.md; this record pins its most concrete object-level claim and lives with Zeniff's record where the catalog is preserved.
