1 Nephi 21:23 · Isaiah 49:23
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.
Verbatim core of the 'nursing fathers … nursing mothers … lick up the dust of thy feet' verse. 1 Nephi opens 'And kings shall be thy nursing fathers' (Isaiah: 'And kings shall be thy nursing fathers') and reads 'with their face towards the earth' where Isaiah reads 'toward the earth' — a one-word divergence, so the quote is clipped to the clause that is fully shared.
