35 And for the purpose of ^apurchasing lands for the public benefit of the church, and building houses of ^bworship, and building up of the ^cNew Jerusalem which is hereafter to be revealed—

  5 And also every tract bordering by the prairies, inasmuch as my disciples are enabled to ^abuy lands. Behold, this is wisdom, that they may ^bobtain it for an everlasting inheritance.

  70 Which saith, or teacheth, to ^apurchase all the lands with money, which can be purchased for money, in the region round about the land which I have appointed to be the land of Zion, for the beginning of the gathering of my saints;

  23 And let all the churches send up wise men with their moneys, and ^apurchase lands even as I have commanded them.
