Book of Mormon Omni 1:27

Book of Mormon Jacob 3:4
"except ye repent they shall possess the land of your inheritance"

Shared words: possess the land of

The bare land-of-inheritance phrase with a possessive (their/your/his/our/thine) is common (twenty-three verses corpus-wide, incl. the thine-form 2 Nephi 10:10, Mormon 3:17, 5:14 and Ether 9:13, 13:8, with the 'first inheritance' variant adding Ether 7:16), but the possess-form occurs at exactly these two verses (nearest variants: 'possess again the land of their inheritance', 1 Nephi 10:3, said of Judah; and the noun-form 'taken possession of the lands of our inheritance', Mormon 2:27). The record reports the distribution honestly and does not assert Amaleki intends an echo of Jacob.
