Moses 3:17 · Genesis 2:17
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 single prohibition, with a Moses insertion. Both open 'But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil' with the prohibition and close 'thou shalt surely die' — Genesis reads 'in the day that thou eatest', Moses drops the that. Moses 3:17 inserts 'nevertheless, thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee; but, remember that I forbid it' -- a clause with no Genesis 2:17 counterpart. Divergence in the shared ending: Genesis 'in the day that thou eatest'; Moses 'in the day thou eatest' (no 'that'). The inserted choice-clause is the point moses.md already ties to the Book of Mormon's fall-doctrine; here it is a Moses-rendering fact, not scored.
