3a	TG Purification.
b	Deut. 10: 8. 8 ¶ At that time the Lord ^aseparated the tribe of ^bLevi, to ^cbear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister unto him, and to ^dbless in his name, unto this day. D&C 84: 31 (31-34). 31 Therefore, as I said ^aconcerning the sons of Moses—for the sons of Moses and also the sons of Aaron shall offer an acceptable ^boffering and sacrifice in the house of the Lord, which house shall be built unto the Lord in this generation, upon the consecrated ^cspot as I have appointed— D&C 128: 24. 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.
c	D&C 13: 1. 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.
