Mosiah 28:17 · Ether 1:33
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 28:17 summarizes the twenty-four plates' contents before the book of Ether appears in the collection; Ether 1:33 opens the account itself with the same tower-and-confounding clause. The scattering phrase inverts its word order between the two ("scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth" / "scattered upon all the face of the earth"). Omni 1:22 states the same origin in the same confounding clause, reading the tower where both ends here read the great tower; the register's eth-jar-tower-origin and mos-mosiah2-tower pair it with each end here, and this record closes the triangle.
