Doctrine and Covenants D&C 113:5
"What is the root of Jesse spoken of in the 10th verse of the 11th chapter?"
Old Testament Isaiah 11:10
"And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious."

Shared words: root of Jesse

The question names chapter and verse. The answer, D&C 113:6, names an office rather than a person and carries the prophecy's own word 'ensign' into it. 'root of Jesse' stands at four distinct frozen verses in the corpus: D&C 113:5, Isaiah 11:10, 2 Nephi 21:10, Romans 15:12 - the last disclosed, not paired. D&C 64:42 is already registered against Isaiah 11:10 for the ensign clause; that is a different verse pair. Minted asserted_by: source at the 2026-08-10 editorial review.
