Shared words: In thee and in thy seed shall

'in thee and in thy seed' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus, counted case-insensitively: these. The case-insensitive count is the material one - the older passage prints the phrase mid-verse in lower case, this verse at the head of a quotation in upper. One divergence carries a fact worth stating plainly: this verse introduces the words as what was said to a named patriarch, 'And as I said unto Abraham concerning the kindreds of the earth, even so I say unto my servant Joseph', while the frozen verse whose wording matches is spoken to Jacob, not to Abraham. The promises addressed to Abraham in the frozen corpus are worded differently: Genesis 12:3, Genesis 22:18, and, at greater length, Abraham 2:11. Because the named source and the matching carrier disagree, this record is wiki-asserted and the mismatch is reported rather than resolved. Counts are of distinct frozen verses in the corpus, derived by search at the time of writing.
