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 rare beast-of-burden image returns clause for clause and in order (burdens on backs, then driven as a dumb ass); 'dumb ass' occurs nowhere else in the record. The only other corpus occurrence is 2 Peter 2:16 ('the dumb ass speaking with man's voice', the Balaam allusion) — three verses in all. Divergences: divine first person 'I will cause… lashed' becomes Lamanite practice 'began to put heavy burdens'; 'driven before like' becomes 'drive them as they would'. Mosiah 21:4 ('that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled') marks the verse as deliberate fulfillment.
