Helaman 1:11 · Helaman 6:22
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.
Internal pair within Helaman: the book documents the oath at its first, ad-hoc occurrence (Kishkumen's murderers covenant 'that they would tell no man', 1:11) and then its full institutionalization. The institutional protocol is a span, 6:21-24: oaths of mutual protection (6:21), secret signs and secret words to identify a covenant-brother (6:22), licence to 'murder, and plunder, and steal, and commit whoredoms' (6:23), and a private judiciary — tried 'according to the laws of their wickedness, which had been given by Gadianton and Kishkumen' (6:24). 6:22 is the tightest verbal pair to the founding covenant; the wider protocol span is disclosed in the page prose.
