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 sister-wife instruction at the Egyptian border. Shared distinctive frame: the say-sister-that-the-soul-may-live instruction at both ends — Genesis's Sarai is told to say 'thou art my sister', Abraham's told to say 'she is thy sister'. Notable framing variant, reported as a textual fact, not scored: in Genesis 12:11-13 ABRAM devises the plan and instructs Sarai directly ('Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister'); in Abraham 2:22-24 the LORD instructs Abraham ('Let her say unto the Egyptians, she is thy sister') — same event, opposite agent of the instruction. Person shifts throughout (Genesis's 'my sister' and 'my soul shall live'; Abraham's 'thy sister, and thy soul shall live'). Class (d) same-discourse rendering; origin out of scope; asserted_by wiki.
