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.
Samuel's slippery-treasures curse, narrated as fulfilled. Samuel prophesied from the wall that the Lord would curse hoarded riches so 'they become slippery, that ye cannot hold them' (Helaman 13:31, which continues '…and in the days of your poverty ye cannot retain them'); Mormon reports it arriving -- hidden treasures 'became slippery, because the Lord had cursed the land, that they could not hold them, nor retain them again' (Mormon 1:18). The prophecy-to-fulfillment pair shares the whole distinctive triple: became/become slippery + cannot/could not hold them + the Lord cursed / he curseth, plus the paired 'retain them'. EXTENDS hel-rich-slippery-treasure (Helaman 13:31 <-> Helaman 12:19, hosted on riches-and-pride.md -- the parent internal pair stating the curse-doctrine, Mormon's editorial 12:18-19 alongside Samuel's 13:31); this record adds the Mormon-side fulfillment leg. The word 'slippery' occurs at exactly four verses in the record: Helaman 13:31, 13:33, 13:36, and Mormon 1:18; corpus-wide the frozen Old Testament adds Psalms 35:6, Psalms 73:18, and Jeremiah 23:12 (seven in all). Samuel's own lament legs are Helaman 13:35 ('we have hid up our treasures and they have slipped away from us' -- note 'slipped', not 'slippery') and 13:36 ('all things are become slippery, and we cannot hold them'). The full slippery-treasures doctrine is hosted on riches-and-pride.md; this leg is registered here as a Samuel-prophecy fulfillment.
