2 And these are the names of the sons of ^aAaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

  17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of ^aGershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.

  1 Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I ^aconfer the ^bPriesthood of Aaron, which holds the ^ckeys of the ministering of ^dangels, and of the gospel of ^erepentance, and of ^fbaptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of ^gLevi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in ^hrighteousness.

  39 Therefore, verily I say unto you, that your ^aanointings, and your washings, and your ^bbaptisms for the dead, and your ^csolemn assemblies, and your ^dmemorials for your ^esacrifices by the sons of Levi, and for your ^foracles in your most ^gholy places wherein you receive conversations, and your statutes and judgments, for the beginning of the revelations and foundation of Zion, and for the glory, honor, and endowment of all her municipals, are ordained by the ordinance of my holy house, which my people are always commanded to build unto my holy name.

  24 Behold, the great ^aday of the Lord is at hand; and who can ^babide the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appeareth? For he is like a ^crefiner’s ^dfire, and like fuller’s soap; and he shall sit as a ^erefiner and purifier of silver, and he shall purify the sons of ^fLevi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an ^goffering in righteousness. Let us, therefore, as a church and a people, and as Latter-day Saints, offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness; and let us present in his holy temple, when it is finished, a book containing the ^hrecords of our dead, which shall be worthy of all acceptation.
