Jacob 1:10 · 2 Nephi 5:14
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 named object in defensive use at both ends. The corpus names 'the sword of Laban' in FIVE verses (recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze) - 2 Nephi 5:14, Jacob 1:10, Words of Mormon 1:13 (Benjamin fights with it), Mosiah 1:16 (conferred on Mosiah II with the records), and D&C 17:1 (among the objects the three witnesses are promised a view of); 1 Nephi 4 calls it only 'his sword'. The record's two ends are the defensive-use pair; the later verses are registered/narrated on sword-of-laban.md.
