Pearl of Great Price Moses 1:26
"thou shalt deliver my people from bondage, even Israel my chosen"
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 17:24
"if the Lord had not commanded Moses that he should lead them out of bondage"

The one point where the book of Moses's Moses and the Book of Mormon's Moses touch: God's future commission to deliver Israel from bondage (Moses 1:26) and the Book of Mormon's memory of that deliverance as accomplished history (1 Nephi 17:24; cf. 1 Nephi 4:2, 17:26). Rests on the shared figure and event, viewed prospectively vs retrospectively, not on distinctive phrasing (Moses 1:26 'deliver my people from bondage', 1 Nephi 17:24 'led out of bondage' — common Exodus idiom). Weakest of the page's records; surfaced because apart from it the Book of Mormon's Moses references (law of Moses; Red-Sea deliverer) never touch the book-of-Moses material.
