According to Roy Weldon, the Book of Mormon is replete with Hebraic phrases. One classification of these Hebraisms involves verbs with cognate nouns. In the Bible some examples are found in Job 3:25 ("Feared a fear") and Jeremiah 46:5 ("Fled a flight"). One good example in the Book of Mormon is found in Mosiah 10:20: "we slew them with a great slaughter . . ." [Roy E. Weldon, Book of Mormon Deeps, Vol. III, p. 275] [See the commentary on Alma 1:1]
