And, again, verily I say unto you, how shall

your washings be acceptable unto me, except, ye perform

them in a house which you have built to my name<​?​>, for,

for this cause I commanded Moses that he should build a

tabernacle, that they should bear it with them in the wilderness, and to build a house in the land of promise,

that those ordinances might be revealed, which had been

hid from before the world was; therefore, verily I say unto

you, that your anointings and your washings, and your

babtisms for the dead and your solemn assemblys, and your

memorials for your sacrifices, by the sons of Levi, and for

your oracles in your most holy places, wherein you receive

conversations, and your statutes, and judgements, for the

beginning of the revelations and foundation of Zion, and

for the glory and honor and endowment of all her municiples,

are ordained by the ordinance of my holy house, which

my people are allways Commanded to build unto my

holy name.

And verily I say unto you, let this house be built unto my

name, that I may reveal my <​mine​> ordinances therein, unto my people,

for I deign to reveal unto my church, things which have been

kept hid from before the foundation of the world,25 things

that pertain to the dispensation of the fulness of times,26 and

I will shew unto my servant Joseph all things pertaining

to this house and the priesthood thereof, and the place

whereon it shall be built, and ye shall build it on the

place where you have contemplated building <​it,​> for that is the

spot which I have chosen for you to build it.
