2 Nephi 6:5 · 1 Nephi 19:23
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.
The liken-idiom is a recurring corpus formula (1 Nephi 19:23, 19:24, 22:8; 2 Nephi 6:5 twice, 11:2, 11:8 — seven instances), so a one-word idiom is below the shared-phrasing distinctiveness bar. The link is methodological — Jacob adopting Nephi's announced hermeneutic.
