Shared words: the beginning and the end, the first and the last

The compound run 'the beginning and the end, the first and the last' stands at exactly two verses in the corpus: Alma 11:39 and Revelation 22:13 — the same two title-pairs in the same order. Variants reported, not scored: Revelation prefixes 'I am Alpha and Omega' and speaks in the first person; Amulek speaks in the third ('he is'), and prefixes 'he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth, and all things which in them are'. Taken separately the halves are wider: 'the beginning and the end' also stands at 3 Nephi 9:18, Moses 2:1, Revelation 21:6 and, in the Doctrine and Covenants, at nine further verses — 19:1, 35:1, 38:1, 45:7, 49:12, 54:1, 61:1, 84:120, 95:7 (and Revelation 1:8 reads 'the beginning and the ending'); 'the first and the last' also stands at Jacob 5:63 — of grafted trees, in an unrelated sense — at Revelation 1:11, 1:17, 2:8, and at D&C 110:4 ('I am the first and the last'). Both halves recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze; the compound run itself is unmoved, with no D&C carrier, so the confinement claimed here stands. It is the conjunction, in that order, that is confined to these two verses. The corpus gives no account of the parallel; origin outside this wiki's scope. Class (c). asserted_by wiki.
