Doctrine and Covenants D&C 8:3
"this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground."
Book of Mormon Mosiah 7:19
"that God who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, and caused that they should walk through the Red Sea on dry ground"

Shared words: through the Red Sea on dry ground

The run 'through the Red Sea on dry ground' stands at exactly these two frozen verses. Divergence: the revelation makes Moses the agent ('Moses brought'), king Limhi's speech makes God the agent and Israel the walkers ('caused that they should walk').
