Doctrine and Covenants D&C 103:26
"And my presence shall be with you even in avenging me of mine enemies, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me."
Old Testament Exodus 20:5
"for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;"

Shared words: unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me

The nine-word run is identical. Divergences: what the formula measures - in the commandment the visiting of iniquity on children, in the revelation the extent of an avenging of enemies; and the commandment's ground, jealousy over images, has no counterpart in the revelation. 'unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me' stands at four distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these two, Deuteronomy 5:9, which reproduces the commandment, and D&C 105:30, which repeats the revelation's own use of it - both disclosed, not paired.
