A few scriptures are alluded to by View of the Hebrews, but it is difficult to see them as actual parallels in the use of scripture, since one is a grammatic example ignored by the Book of Mormon, and one is a reference to John the Baptist. Joseph Smith would be far more likely to know the reference to John the Baptist from the New Testament than he would to crib the idea from Ethan Smith's use of the Old Testament:
