Doctrine and Covenants D&C 38:18
"even a land of promise, a land flowing with milk and honey, upon which there shall be no curse when the Lord cometh;"
Old Testament Exodus 3:8
"to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey"

Shared words: a land flowing with milk and honey

'a land flowing with milk and honey' stands at seven distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these two, Exodus 3:17, Exodus 13:5, Exodus 33:3, Jeremiah 11:5, and Jeremiah 32:22 - every one an Exodus-or-prophets verse about the same ancient land, none nearer than Exodus 3:8, which is paired as the phrase's first carrier in the corpus's order. Divergences: the older verses attach the phrase to a land the hearers are brought to out of Egypt and list its inhabitants; the revelation attaches it to a promise about a curse and a coming, which has no counterpart in any of the six.
