Doctrine and Covenants D&C 133:58
"in the day when the weak shall confound the wise, and the little one become a strong nation, and two shall put their tens of thousands to flight."
Old Testament Deuteronomy 32:30
"How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them"

Shared words: to flight

The revelation multiplies the number: 'put ten thousand to flight' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus, Deuteronomy 32:30 and Leviticus 26:8, while 'tens of thousands to flight' stands at exactly one, D&C 133:58. The song poses its figure as a rhetorical question about defeat; the revelation states it as a promise about the weak. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
