Alma 5:34 · Alma 12:21
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.
The identical nine-word string 'partake of the fruit of the tree of life' occurs at exactly these two verses in the record (verified by search of the full text, case-insensitive) -- once as invitation, once as bar. Speakers differ and are reported precisely: at Alma 5:34 Alma relays the Lord's own invitation ('he saith: Come unto me…'); at Alma 12:21 the chief ruler Antionah quotes the Eden scripture's bar back at Alma as a challenge. The inflected family strengthens the pairing and is disclosed: 'fruit of the tree of life' stands at five verses corpus-wide, all inside the account of Alma's ministry -- Alma 5:34 and 5:62 ('partakers of the fruit of the tree of life', Alma's own invitation), Alma 12:21 and 12:23 ('partaken of the fruit of the tree of life', Alma's own answer), Alma 32:40 ('pluck of the fruit of the tree of life'). No verse-pair collision: Alma 5:34 is separately registered against Alma 42:27 (alma-waters-of-life-freely) and Alma 12:21 against Genesis 3:24 (alma-cherubim-flaming-sword) -- distinct pairs, cross-linked, not duplicates. Hosted on the tree-of-life essay, whose section 4 presents the collision; the entity page tree-of-life.md keeps the symbol lookup.
