D&C 2:3 · Joseph Smith—History 1:39
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.
Identical character for character; the second of the two sentences Joseph Smith—History 1:39 carries. This sentence stands at exactly these two frozen verses. Malachi 4:6 closes its verse differently — 'lest I come and smite the earth with a curse' — a divergence reported at w1-dc2-malachi-fathers.
