Mormon 8:23 · Isaiah 29:4
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.
Moroni explicitly invokes the source oracle ('Search the prophecies of Isaiah', Mormon 8:23) and then gives the dust-cry figure of the buried saints. The near-verbatim Isaiah 29:4 quotation lands earlier on this page at 2 Nephi 26:16 (2ne-isa29-dust); here Moroni alludes to the same verse in his own words. 'from the dust' is a recurring figure -- 11 verses in the record (2 Nephi 1 x3, 2 Nephi 3 x2, 2 Nephi 8, 2 Nephi 33, 3 Nephi 20, Mormon 8:23, Ether 8:24, Moroni 10:31), 14 corpus-wide (the frozen scriptures add Isaiah 52:2, Moses 3:7, Abraham 5:7), so the distinctive element is not the bare phrase but Moroni's explicit appeal to the Isaiah-29 dust oracle.
