Mosiah 1:16 · Words of Mormon 1:13
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.
Same man at both ends: Benjamin confers (Mosiah 1:16) the blade he was last seen wielding (WoM 1:13). Verbal contact is the object's name itself - grep confirms 'the sword of Laban' occurs in exactly four verses of the corpus (2 Nephi 5:14, Jacob 1:10, WoM 1:13, Mosiah 1:16); Mosiah 1:16 is its only Mosiah occurrence and the record's first explicit person-to-person transmission of the object. Typed shared-phrasing per the page's chain precedent (jac-sword-wielded, sb-benjamin-sword also rest on the name). HONESTY GUARD: Mosiah 28:20's conferral to Alma the younger names 'all the records, and also the interpreters' - the sword is NOT named there; the page states this and does not extend the custody chain past 1:16.
