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 assembly command the risen Lord gave the twelve at Bountiful ('ye shall meet together oft', 3 Nephi 18:22 -- the command wording occurs only there) is recorded as the church's kept practice in Moroni's church-order rubric. near-end choice: Moroni 6:5 is the tighter of the chapter's two 'did meet together oft' verses -- its subject is explicitly 'the church', and its stated purpose ('to fast and to pray, and to speak one with another concerning the welfare of their souls') is general assembly-for-worship, matching the general command; Moroni 6:6 ('did meet together oft to partake of bread and wine') carries the same declarative form but a sacramental purpose that maps to the sacrament command (3 Nephi 18:1-11, 28-30), not to 18:22, and is carried on sacrament.md. Distribution: the exact string 'meet together oft' stands at 3 verses -- 3 Nephi 18:22, Moroni 6:5, Moroni 6:6; the gerund 'meeting together oft' at 1 (4 Nephi 1:12); the cognate 'gather themselves together oft' at 1 (Alma 6:6); and, added 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze, the variant 'meet together often' at 2, both in the newly frozen work — D&C 20:55 and D&C 20:75, the latter in the sacramental purpose-form ('meet together often to partake of bread and wine in the remembrance of the Lord Jesus') that answers to Moroni 6:6 rather than to the general assembly registered here. Distinct-pair: 4ne-meeting-oft pairs 4 Nephi 1:12 <-> 3 Nephi 18:22; this record pairs Moroni 6:5 <-> 3 Nephi 18:22 -- shared far end, different near end, no verse-pair collision.
