Doctrine and Covenants D&C 1:36
"and shall come down in judgment upon Idumea, or the world."
Old Testament Isaiah 34:5
"behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment."

Shared words: shall come down

'Idumea' stands at exactly five distinct frozen verses in the corpus: Isaiah 34:5, Isaiah 34:6, Ezekiel 35:15, Ezekiel 36:5, and D&C 1:36. The revelation is the only one of the five that supplies a gloss for the name, and the gloss is two words. Whether the prophecy's Idumea and the revelation's are the same referent is what the gloss decides for the revelation and leaves open for the prophecy; the page does not extend the gloss backwards.
