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 formula 'yea, even that old serpent' occurs in the corpus only in these two verses. Divergent appositions: Lehi identifies the serpent as 'the devil… the father of all lies'; Abinadi as the one 'that did beguile our first parents'. Companion record mos-abinadi-beguiled-parents ties the same Mosiah verse's second formula to 2 Nephi 9:9.
