Pearl of Great Price Abraham 2:11
"and in thy seed after thee (that is to say, the literal seed, or the seed of the body) shall all the families of the earth be blessed, even with the blessings of the Gospel"
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 22:9
"unto the making known of the covenants of the Father of heaven unto Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed"

Shared words: of the earth be blessed

The Abrahamic seed-blessing formula the Book of Mormon repeatedly cites is here recorded as Jehovah speaking it directly to Abraham. Shared distinctive frame: Abraham 2:11 'in thy seed after thee … shall all the families of the earth be blessed' (the ellipsis passing the verse's own parenthetical), against the Nephite form 'In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed'. One substantive divergence: 'families' (Abraham 2:11) vs. 'kindreds' (the Nephite citations at 1 Nephi 15:18, 1 Nephi 22:9, 3 Nephi 20:25, 20:27; of these, 3 Nephi 20:25 alone opens 'And in thy seed' — the others carry 'In thy seed' exactly). The Nephite writers cite the covenant as already made 'unto Abraham'; this record purports to give the occasion of its speaking. Book-of-Mormon side of the covenant network hosted on covenant-of-israel.md; only the Abraham-side pairing registered here. No verse-pair collision: no Abraham verse was previously in the register.
