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 "I drew it forth from the sheath thereof" runs nearly word-for-word with David's "drew it out of the sheath thereof" (1 Samuel 17:51) — both of a famed enemy's own sword, drawn from its sheath by the man who will use it against its owner. Companion record: the beheading itself (1 Nephi 4:18, 1ne-sword-beheading).
