Seidel

In the Old Testament when one author would quote another, often they would reverse the sequence. Here is an example:

4 And the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. (Leviticus 26)

27 And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. (Ezekiel 34)

This technique is called Seidel’s Law, which also occurs in The Most Holy & Sacred Book of Mormon. Here is an example:

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. (Psalm 24)

19 I say unto you, can ye look up to God at that day with a pure heart and clean hands? I say unto you, can you look up, having the image of God engraven upon your countenances? (Alma 5)
