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 eight-word run 'without beginning of days or end of years' stands at five distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these two, Alma 13:9, Moses 1:3, and Moses 6:67. In both verses paired here the referent is the priesthood or its order; at Moses 1:3 the referent is God speaking of himself. Reported as a textual fact; the referents are not merged.
