Alma 58:40 · Alma 61:21
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.
Near-verbatim (only has/hath differs). Both inside wartime epistles to captain Moroni - one Helaman's (58:40, of the Ammonite sons), one Pahoran's (61:21). Pahoran's first-person form at 61:9 ('My soul standeth fast in that liberty in the which God hath made us free') chains the triple. Earlier root at Mosiah 23:13 (Alma the elder, 'stand fast in this liberty wherewith ye have been made free'). Pinned to Helaman's page because 58:40 is his own written word; pahoran.md cross-links.
