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 record-keeper's blood-responsibility office: Jacob's founding statement of it - laboring so 'their blood might not come upon our garments', else 'we would not be found spotless at the last day' (Jacob 1:19) - restated by the corpus's LAST record-keeper in the same judgment frame: 'we shall meet before the judgment-seat of Christ, where all men shall know that my garments are not spotted with your blood' (Ether 12:38). Footing: the office-formula - the keeper's own GARMENTS set against his hearers' BLOOD at the judgment - with the spot-lemma at both ends (spotted/spotless). Spot(ted/less)+garments co-occur at 5 verses (Jacob 1:19; Alma 5:24, 7:25, 13:12; Ether 12:38) and only these two carry the keeper-office frame; bare garments+blood co-occurrence is common (15 verses) and is NOT the footing. Cross-links: jac-jacob-garments (Jacob 1:19 <-> 2 Nephi 9:44, the founding statement's internal echo - distinct verse-pair); eth-nv-garments-rid-blood (the Moroni-to-Moroni leg, same near-end, distinct pair); the rid-idiom's other carriers (Mosiah 2:28; 2 Nephi 9:44; Jacob 2:2 with 'sins') disclosed without quotation.
