Alma 13:15 · Hebrews 7:2
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.
Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek, shared distinctive phrase 'tenth part of all'. PROVENANCE HONESTY: this is the point at which Alma tracks Hebrews' wording rather than Genesis's -- Genesis 14:20 reads 'he gave him tithes of all', NOT 'tenth part of all'; Hebrews 7:2 reads 'a tenth part of all'; Alma 13:15 carries BOTH strands -- 'paid tithes' (Genesis-like) and 'one-tenth part of all' (Hebrews-like). Variant reported, not scored: Hebrews 'a tenth part of all', Alma 'one-tenth part of all he possessed.' DISTRIBUTION: 'tenth part of all' in the Abraham-tithe sense = exactly TWO loci (Hebrews 7:2, Alma 13:15); the other tenth-part occurrences in the corpus are OT dry/liquid measures — 'tenth part of an ephah' (Exodus/Leviticus/Numbers), 'the tenth part of an homer' and 'tenth part of a bath' (Ezekiel 45), the Levites' 'a tenth part of the tithe' (Numbers 18:26 -- a tithing context without the Abraham-tithe phrase) — and 'tenth part of the city' (Revelation 11:13) -- a different sense, excluded. Class (c): Alma names no NT source; origin out of scope. Companion to heb-w1-01 (same Melchizedek passage).
