Specific verses that parallel or expand on the Old Testament in the Book of Mormon.

The Book of Mormon and the Old Testament cover many of the same principles, and interlock very well. Neither is separate from the other. They are the stick of Joseph and the stick of Judah.

While the Old Testament has obscure passages, the Book of Mormon has ones that are glossed over. It takes a lot of careful looking in the Book of Mormon to see that a verse's theme is covered more extensively in the Old Testament. It's much easier usually to go the opposite way, but when the Old Testament can illuminate, it just makes the scriptures so much more valuable.

In many cases, the exact details are not the same, but it is the same event overall. For instance, a prophet causing a famine, a congregation before the temple, anointing, method of prophecy, etc.

Looking for obscure passages or singular events in the Book of Mormon (the sabbath, singing praises, hanging on a tree, Moroni's lament about his own weakness) helps connect it to the Old Testament where they are more in detail. It's easy to find passages that stand out in the Old Testament, but it's hard to find passages in the Book of Mormon that normally go unnoticed. The Book of Mormon is so bold, that I'm not accustomed to looking for the hidden verses that are small and simple. It requires a close reading.
