Helaman 5:12 · Jacob 4:16
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 two-word figure 'sure foundation' stands in the record at exactly two books: Jacob's stone-oracle (Jacob 4:16, repeated at 4:17) and the remembered charge of Helaman the son of Helaman to his sons Nephi and Lehi (Helaman 5:12; the speaker is Helaman Helamanson, Alma 63:11/Helaman 3:21 — not Helaman Almason), four centuries on. Jacob's rejected stone BECOMES a sure foundation; Helaman's rock IS one to build on. The figure 'sure foundation' stands at three verse-loci in the record across two books (Jacob 4:16, Jacob 4:17, Helaman 5:12); corpus-wide the frozen Isaiah 28:16 ('a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation') adds a fourth locus in a third book. The distinctive expansion 'the great, and the last, and the only sure foundation' is unique to Jacob 4:16.
