Jacob 2:25 · 2 Nephi 3:5
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.
Both ends combine 'righteous branch' + Joseph's loins ('his' in 2 Nephi 3:5 is fixed as Joseph by 3:4). 2 Nephi 3:5 reports the promise future-tense ('would raise up'); Jacob 2:25 is the Lord's first-person present purpose for the colony. Distinct from 2ne-joseph-branch (1 Nephi 19:24) and from Jacob 5's branch-vocabulary.
