1 Nephi 20:1 · Isaiah 48:1
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.
Near-verbatim opening. The shared spine is 'out of the waters of Judah … make mention of the God of Israel'. 1 Nephi diverges by (a) opening 'Hearken and hear this' where Isaiah opens 'Hear ye this'; (b) reading 'who are called' for Isaiah's 'which are called'; and (c) inserting a clause with no counterpart in Isaiah 48:1 — '…out of the waters of Judah, or out of the waters of baptism…'. The 'waters of baptism' addition is reported here as a textual fact; what it means is a separate interpretive question.
