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.
22:6 reads that after the house of Israel 'shall be nursed by the Gentiles … their children have been carried in their arms, and their daughters have been carried upon their shoulders' — Nephi applying the nursing imagery of 21:23 ('kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers') and the arms/shoulders imagery of 21:22 to the latter-day gathering. The nursing root ('nursed' / 'nursing') is the distinctive shared element across the two verses.
