Old Testament Genesis 49:24
"from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel"

Shared words: the stone of Israel

'the stone of Israel' stands at exactly these two distinct frozen verses in the corpus, and both verses pair shepherd with stone. What differs is voice: the older verse speaks of a shepherd and stone in the third person inside a blessing; the revelation speaks in the first person as both.
