At siya'y uupo bilang tagapagdalisay at tagapaglinis ng pilak; at lilinisin niya ang mga anak ni Levi, at dadalisayin sila tulad ng ginto at ng pilak; at sila'y magiging mga tagapaghandog sa Walang-Hanggan ng handog sa katuwiran.
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.”
