Mosiah 1:9 · Mosiah 10:22
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 phrase 'confer the kingdom' occurs 4x in the corpus, all in Mosiah (1:9, 10:22, 28:10, 29:3) - the book's succession formula. The pair is the two successful transfers, each preceded by old age ('he waxed old' 1:9 / 'I, being old' 10:22); 28:10 and 29:3 are the negative uses (Mosiah II with no son to confer on), after which kingship ends. Zeniff end narrated on zeniff.md; succession-failure ends on mosiah-ii.md/kings-and-judges.md.
