Mormon 7:10 · 3 Nephi 20:25
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.
INTERPRETIVE -- the covenant-identity address to the latter-day remnant. 3 Ne 20:25 (the Lord, at Bountiful) and Mormon 7:10 (Mormon, to the remnant) both declare the scattered remnant's covenant lineage in the same second-person 'ye are …' form; 1 Ne 15:14 is the antecedent ('the remnant of our seed know that they are of the house of Israel, and that they are the covenant people of the Lord'). This record SHARES THE VERSE 3 Ne 20:25 with the textual record 3ne-cov-kindreds-blessed (which registers the Abrahamic 'thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed' clause of that same verse); this is a distinct pair on the covenant-identity clause. TIER FLAG: 'people of the first covenant' is corpus-UNIQUE to Mormon 7:10 (grep) and 3 Ne 20:25 carries no matching distinctive phrase -- so the binding contact is thematic (covenant-identity), NOT a shared distinctive phrase; registered interpretive rather than textual. Companion address Mormon 7:2 ('Know ye that ye are of the house of Israel') -> page prose.
