2 Nephi 5:30 · 1 Nephi 9:3
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.
Two accounts of the same divine command to make the small plates: 2 Nephi 5:30 narrates it in the Lord's own words at the thirty-year mark; 1 Nephi 9:3 reports it in Nephi's editorial voice from inside the finished record. The naming flips with vantage point: 'these plates' (1 Ne 9:3) vs 'other plates' — other relative to the set Nephi 'had kept… thus far' (2 Ne 5:29).
