1 Nephi 21:1 · Isaiah 49:1
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.
The shared core is 'Listen, O isles, unto me … the Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.' The showpiece divergence: 1 Nephi 21:1 PREPENDS an entire clause with no counterpart in Isaiah 49:1 — 'Hearken, O ye house of Israel, all ye that are broken off and are driven out because of the wickedness of the pastors of my people…'. The quoted phrase is where the two texts rejoin.
