How many Book of Mormon verses and chapters are copied directly from Isaiah and Mathew ?Or what percentage of the BOM is comprised of versus directly from the Bible?
according to wikipedia 30% of Isaiah is quoted in the BOM. A great scholar who has done research into this extensively is Sandra Tanner, She explains a lot of early mormonism in her book "Changing World of Mormonism."

Notice that all the passages in Isaiah from ch 40 on are from the part of Isaiah which Bible scholars believe were not part of Isaiah until after the Babylonian Captivity (i.e., after Lehi had left Jerusalem). So they could not possibly have been in the Brass Plates.

Yes, I have it on a CD-ROM disc, copyright 1996, published by Infobases, which is now defunct (sfaik).

It is copyrighted material, forbidden to duplicate. And I would not send you the original.
I don't understand why you don't follow the suggestions given you on your original thread, and search it online. And I don't understand why word frequency in this reference work would provide any interesting conclusions.
