Ether 12:4 · Hebrews 6:19
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.
Both cast HOPE as an anchor of the soul and call it sure and steadfast. Shared distinctive cluster: 'hope' + 'anchor' + soul/souls + the sure-and-steadfast pairing (KJV 'stedfast'). Variant reported, not scored: Hebrews 6:19 'anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast'; Ether 12:4 'anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast' (KJV spelling 'stedfast' vs Ether 'steadfast'). DISTINCTIVENESS: 'anchor' in the soul/hope sense = exactly TWO loci (Ether 12:4, Hebrews 6:19); the other 'anchor' occurrences in the corpus are literal ships (Mormon 5:18 'without sail or anchor'; Acts 27:29–40). A second, weaker contact both share -- 'within the veil' (Hebrews 6:19 'entereth into that within the veil'; Ether 12:19 'could not be kept from within the veil') -- is reported as a fact but not separately registered. Distribution, stated: 'within the veil' stands at four corpus loci -- Hebrews 6:19, Ether 12:19, and Ether 3:19-3:20 (3:20 in the identical formula 'he could not be kept from within the veil'); the KJV OT spelling 'within the vail' adds five tabernacle loci (Exodus 26:33; Leviticus 16:2, 16:12, 16:15; Numbers 18:7). Different Ether verse, different sense: Hebrews's hope enters the veil, Ether's men of great faith pass within it. Class (c): Moroni's own editorial voice; no source named; origin out of scope.
