Doctrine and Covenants D&C 103:19
"for I say not unto you as I said unto your fathers: Mine angel shall go up before you, but not my presence."
Old Testament Exodus 33:2
"And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:"

Registered as allusion: the revelation reports the sense of what was said to the fathers, not its words, and the second half of what it reports ('but not my presence') corresponds to the following verse of the older account, Exodus 33:3, which supplies the reason the revelation omits. The revision follows immediately at D&C 103:20 - angel to angels, and the presence restored. 'mine angel shall go up before you' stands at exactly one distinct frozen verse in the corpus, and 'the goodly land' at two, D&C 103:20 and D&C 99:7.
