Doctrine and Covenants D&C 74:3
"And it came to pass that there arose a great contention among the people concerning the law of circumcision, for the unbelieving husband was desirous that his children should be circumcised and become subject to the law of Moses, which law was fulfilled."
Book of Mormon Moroni 8:8
"and the law of circumcision is done away in me."

Shared words: the law of circumcision

'the law of circumcision' stands at exactly three distinct frozen verses in the corpus: D&C 74:2, D&C 74:3, and Moroni 8:8. The two texts reach the same disposition of the practice by different arguments — Mormon's letter by a declaration in a quoted first-person divine voice, the revelation by history, describing a contention and the commandment written to settle it.
