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.
Moroni restates for the sealed Jaredite record the three-witnesses-by-the-power-of-God charge Nephi gave for the sealed book (2 Nephi 27:12). Ether 5:4 adds 'in the mouth of three witnesses shall these things be established'; 2 Nephi 27:13–14 give Nephi's parallel provision ('a few according to the will of God'; 'as many witnesses as seemeth him good'). Shared string: 'by the power of God' inside the three-witnesses frame; both quotes verbatim from their own verse.
