Words of Mormon 1:8 · 2 Nephi 30:6
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.
Mormon prays for the restoration Nephi prophesied, in Nephi's word. The word 'delightsome' has eight hits in the record — 2 Nephi 5:21, 30:6, 30:7, WoM 1:8, 3 Nephi 24:12 ('a delightsome land', inside the Malachi 3 quotation), 4 Nephi 1:10, Mormon 5:17, and Moroni 9:12 ('they were a civil and a delightsome people'); the ninth corpus occurrence is Malachi 3:12 itself ('for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts'), the Old Testament original the 3 Nephi verse reproduces. Exact phrase 'delightsome people' at 2 Nephi 30:6, 30:7, WoM 1:8, 4 Nephi 1:10, Mormon 5:17, and Moroni 9:12 — the last three the golden age, Mormon's elegy for the lost people, and his epistle's past-tense witness of the same fall.
