2 Nephi 5:2 · 1 Nephi 17:44
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.
Same idiom across the murder-pattern: at 1 Nephi 17:44 it names their attempt on Lehi's life; the idiom also describes their attempt on Nephi at 1 Nephi 7:16 ('they sought to take away my life', cited in page prose). 2 Nephi 5:2 names the final rupture in the same words.
