Alma 9:13 · Ether 2:15
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.
Alma at Ammonihah attributes the warning to the word spoken to Lehi; in Ether the identical closing clause stands in the Lord's own words to the brother of Jared, conditioned there on ripeness in sin. The shared close is word-for-word; the conditions differ and are reported as they stand. The cut-off-from-presence formula recurs at sixteen further verses of the record, seventeen counting Alma 42:7's interrupted form; Ether 10:11 is the only other Jaredite-side locus.
