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.
Divergences: order - the revelation states the children-to-fathers direction first, the gospel verse states only the fathers-to-children direction and pairs it with a different second clause. The revelation attaches the turning to a peace commandment in the same breath, which no other witness to the formula does. The plural 'hearts of the fathers' stands at four distinct frozen verses in the corpus: D&C 27:9, D&C 98:16, D&C 110:15, Luke 1:17. Malachi 4:6 and D&C 2:2 - already registered against each other - read 'heart of the fathers' in the singular and are disclosed. Flagged to the-committing-of-keys.md as the subject page.
