This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
Nephi's teaching and Lehi's blessing on Jacob pair the same two clauses in the same order — the unchangeability formula followed by the prepared way. The subject differs ("he" / "the Spirit"), and so does the preparation's stated origin ("from the foundation of the world" / "from the fall of man").
