Ether 13:7 · Alma 46:23
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.
Shared string: 'a remnant of the seed of Joseph' -- verbatim at both ends (Ether 13:7; Alma 46:23). Ether 13 frames the descent as a worked TYPE the text states in its own voice: 'for which things there has been a type' (13:6), spelled out in 13:7 -- as Joseph brought his father Jacob down into Egypt and preserved him, so the Lord brought a remnant of Joseph's seed out of Jerusalem to preserve them ('that they should perish not'). Distribution: the broad string 'seed of Joseph' = NINE verses (3 Nephi 5:21, 5:23, 10:17; Alma 46:23, 46:24, 46:27; Ether 13:6, 13:7, 13:10); the article-neutral 'remnant of the seed of Joseph' = seven of those nine — four with 'a' (3 Nephi 5:23, 10:17; Alma 46:23; Ether 13:7, this record's two endpoints among them) and three with 'the' (Alma 46:27; Ether 13:6, 13:10). The two that carry only the shorter phrase are 3 Nephi 5:21 ('merciful unto the seed of Joseph') and Alma 46:24 ('the remainder of the seed of Joseph'). So the phrase is recurring covenant idiom, not unique to this pair; the record rests on the shared TYPE-language plus the verbatim string, not on rarity. DISTINCT verse-pair from `alma-remnant-of-joseph` (Alma 46:23 <-> 2 Nephi 9:53, INTERPRETIVE -- the seed-preservation-promise convergence): both share the Alma 46:23 endpoint but pair it with different far ends; cross-linked, not duplicated. The New-Jerusalem discourse that 13:6-10 sits inside is hosted in full on new-jerusalem.md (`eth-nj-partner-discourse`); this record is the Joseph-type leg only, hosted on joseph-of-egypt.md. Both quotes are verbatim contiguous runs from their own verse.
