Ia akan duduk seperti seorang pelebur dan pemurni perak; ia akan menyucikan anak-anak Lewi dan memurnikan mereka seperti emas dan perak, sehingga mereka menjadi orang-orang yang mempersembahkan persembahan kepada Yang Mahakekal dengan benar.
Jerusalem Talmud Kiddushin
Rebbi Yasa in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: In the future, the Holy One, praise to Him, will only deal with the tribe of Levi. What is the reason? “The refiner will sit, the purifier of silver, and will refine them,” etc. Rebbi Ze‘ira said, like a man who only drinks from a clean cup. Rebbi Hoshaia said, because we are not101In Yebamot: “we are”. According to the Babli, he was a Cohen, therefore also a Levite. Levites, should we lose? Rebbi Ḥanina the son of Rebbi Abbahu said, also in the future, the Holy One, praise to Him, will deal with them charitably. What is the reason? “They will be for the Eternal presenters of an offering in charity.”
