Mosiah 18:8 · Mosiah 25:24
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 covenant's stated aspiration at the waters of Mormon is narrated as accomplished fact once the church spans Zarahemla. Within the Mosiah church-founding narrative the label 'people of God' stands at 25:24 and 26:5; within the record the bare phrase runs to nine verses (Mosiah 25:24, 26:5; Alma 1:24, 2:11, 19:14, 24:4, 24:26, 25:13; 4 Nephi 1:40), and across the frozen corpus it doubles to eighteen (adding Moses 6:17, 7:13, 7:14, 7:19; 1 Peter 2:10, Hebrews 4:9, 11:25; 2 Samuel 14:13, Judges 20:2). Different pairing from the registered 18:8/24:15 covenant-cluster record on alma-the-elder.md.
