Doctrine and Covenants D&C 109:72
"that the kingdom, which thou hast set up without hands, may become a great mountain and fill the whole earth"
Old Testament Daniel 2:35
"and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth"

Shared words: a great mountain and

The prophecy's subject is a stone; the prayer's is a kingdom. 'fill the whole earth' stands at exactly one distinct frozen verse in the corpus, this verse, while the prophecy's past-tense 'filled the whole earth' stands at Daniel 2:35. The prayer's other borrowing from the same prophecy is the stone's manner of origin, 'cut out without hands' at Daniel 2:34, which the prayer attaches to the kingdom instead. 'without hands' stands at six distinct frozen verses in the corpus, including D&C 65:2, where the stone figure is applied without the mountain. Counts are of distinct frozen verses in the corpus, derived by search at the time of writing.
