Shared words: white in the blood of the Lamb

The run 'white in the blood of the Lamb' stands at exactly two verses in the corpus: 1 Nephi 12:11 and Revelation 7:14. Both use the preposition 'in.' The wider phrase 'blood of the Lamb' stands at eight verses — 1 Nephi 12:11, Alma 13:11, 34:36, Ether 13:10, 13:11, Mormon 9:6, Revelation 7:14, 12:11 — that is, in the corpus it is confined to the Book of Mormon and Revelation. Variants reported, not scored: Revelation's subjects wash their robes and are made white; 1 Nephi's are made white with no garment named in this clause, though the preceding verse 12:10 reads 'their garments are made white in his blood.' Related Book of Mormon renderings vary: 'through' at Alma 13:11, 34:36, and Ether 13:10; 'in' again at Ether 13:11 ('washed in the blood of the Lamb'); 'by' at Mormon 9:6 ('cleansed by the blood of the Lamb'). Note precisely: the title 'Lamb of God', pervasive in 1 Nephi, never occurs in Revelation, whose title is 'the Lamb' absolute; the shared element here is the compound 'blood of the Lamb.' The corpus gives no account of the parallel; origin outside this wiki's scope. Class (c). asserted_by wiki.
