Doctrine and Covenants D&C 10:41
"Therefore, you shall translate the engravings which are on the plates of Nephi, down even till you come to the reign of king Benjamin, or until you come to that which you have translated, which you have retained;"
Book of Mormon Words of Mormon 1:3
"for after I had made an abridgment from the plates of Nephi, down to the reign of this king Benjamin, of whom Amaleki spake, I searched among the records which had been delivered into my hands, and I found these plates"

Shared words: the plates of Nephi, down

Both name the plates of Nephi and both terminate the span at the reign of king Benjamin. Divergences: 'down even till you come to' for 'down to'; 'the reign of king Benjamin' for 'the reign of this king Benjamin'; and the direction of the act differs — the revelation commands a translation forward to that point, the preface describes an abridgment already made to that point.
