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.
Nephi's own prose in 22:8 echoes the Isaiah he had just transcribed in 21:22: he speaks of the seed of his father being 'carried in their arms and upon their shoulders' — picking up 21:22's 'bring thy sons in their arms … carried upon their shoulders.' The shared distinctive phrase is 'in their arms'; the wider arms-and-shoulders image is what links Nephi's commentary to the prophecy.
