Book of Mormon Mosiah 28:19
"And this account shall be written hereafter; for behold, it is expedient that all people should know the things which are written in this account"
Book of Mormon Ether 1:1
"I, Moroni, proceed to give an account of those ancient inhabitants who were destroyed by the hand of the Lord upon the face of this north country"

Editorial promissory note paid across nearly five centuries of the record's story: Mosiah 28:19 defers the translated twenty-four-plates account of the destroyed people ('this account' — the translation narrated at Mosiah 28:11-18), and Ether 1:1 opens the payment, with the object identified one verse later: 'And I take mine account from the twenty and four plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether' (Ether 1:2). The phrase 'written hereafter' stands at exactly one corpus verse, Mosiah 28:19 (verified by a search of the corpus). Typed paraphrase: promise and payment restate one proposition (this account shall be written / I proceed to give the account); no distinctive string spans the ends. Class precedent: mos-mormon-ed-baptism-hereafter (Mosiah 21:35 <-> 25:17), the same editorial promissory-note shape paid four chapters later; this is the record's longest-deferred payment of the class.
