16 ¶ And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me ^aseventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and ^bofficers over them; and bring them unto the ^ctabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.

  127 And again, the order of the house prepared for the ^apresidency of the ^bschool of the ^cprophets, established for their instruction in all things that are expedient for them, even for all the ^dofficers of the church, or in other words, those who are called to the ministry in the church, beginning at the high priests, even down to the deacons—

  123 Verily I say unto you, I now give unto you the ^aofficers belonging to my Priesthood, that ye may hold the ^bkeys thereof, even the Priesthood which is after the order of Melchizedek, which is after the order of mine ^cOnly Begotten Son.
