Moses 4:11 · 2 Nephi 2:18
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 serpent's promise in Eden. Substantive divergence is number: plural 'gods' (Moses 4:11) vs singular 'God' (2 Nephi 2:18). The clause runs through a corpus family: the serpent's promise at Moses 4:11 and 2 Nephi 2:18, and the outcome Alma states at Alma 42:3 ('the man had become as God, knowing good and evil') and Alma 12:31 ('becoming as gods, knowing good from evil' -- 'from', not 'and'). Wording variants shown, not harmonized.
