Doctrine and Covenants D&C 133:63

Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 22:20
"And it shall come to pass that all those who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people."

Shared words: be cut off from among the people

The section names Moses and gives five of his words. 'cut off from among the people' stands at six distinct frozen verses in the corpus: 1 Nephi 22:20, 3 Nephi 20:23, Joseph Smith-Matthew 1:55, Joseph Smith-History 1:40, D&C 1:14, and D&C 133:63. Two of the six also attribute the words to Moses and a third to what Moses spake. The words are not in the corpus's frozen Deuteronomy in this form - Deuteronomy 18:19 reads 'I will require it of him' - and the nearest New Testament carrier reads 'destroyed from among the people', at Acts 3:23. So the section names a prophet whose frozen book, as the corpus holds it, does not carry the sentence in these words; the page reports that and does not resolve it. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review. Scope correction at the 2026-08-11 review: the cut-off penalty formula IS Mosaic vocabulary — it stands at nine verses of the frozen books of Moses (Exodus 31:14; Leviticus 17:4, 17:9, 18:29, 19:8, 20:18, 23:29; Numbers 9:13, 15:30), always in the form 'cut off from among his people' or 'their people'. What no frozen book of Moses carries is the assembled sentence: the prophet-prophecy of Deuteronomy 18:15, 19 fused with the cut-off penalty — Deuteronomy's own stated penalty is 'I will require it of him'. The fused sentence is what 1 Nephi 22:20, 3 Nephi 20:23, and Acts 3:23 carry, each attributing it to Moses. Ruled at the 2026-08-10 editorial review: stays wiki — the register does not assert the source's attribution of the assembled sentence.
