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.
Mosiah's retrospective over king Noah's people repeats Abinadi's causal clause - 'because of their iniquities… brought into bondage' - converted from future to past. Limhi had already confessed the same causation in first person: 'it is because of our iniquities and abominations that he has brought us into bondage' (Mosiah 7:20). The deliverance history thus enters the book's constitutional argument against kingship (Mosiah 29). Cross-rendered on kings-and-judges.md.
