Doctrine and Covenants D&C 115:7
"for the ground upon which thou standest is holy."
Old Testament Exodus 3:5
"for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground."

Shared words: thou standest is holy

Both give the same reason in the same construction - a second-person 'thou standest' clause introduced by 'for' - and both make the ground itself the holy thing. Divergences: 'the place whereon' reads 'the ground upon which', and the older passage's holiness is stated as a warning against approach, the newer as the consecration of a named city.
