Jacob 4:11 · 2 Nephi 2:9
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.
Counting the first-fruit word-family (any spelling — 'firstfruits'/'first-fruits'/'first fruits', plus the singular 'first fruit') the record has four occurrences: the two registered ends — Lehi's 'the firstfruits unto God' applied to Christ (2 Nephi 2:9), Jacob's 'the first-fruits of Christ unto God' extending it to the reconciled (Jacob 4:11) — plus Moroni 8:25 ('the first fruits of repentance is baptism', a different sense: the first product of repentance, not an offering unto God) and Jacob 5:60 ('the first fruit', the allegory's preserved root, singular). Restricting to the plural forms drops Jacob 5:60, leaving three in the record. Corpus-wide the term is a pervasive Old/New Testament ritual word — thirty-seven verses under the word-family rule, thirty-four plural-only (recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze; D&C 88:98 is the added carrier, in the church-of-the-Firstborn resurrection sense) — so the offering-unto-God sense the two ends share, not the bare word, is what registers. Spelling differs across the ends (firstfruits / first-fruits / first fruits) — reported as found in the source text.
