Mosiah 9:51 And it came to pass that Alma, having authority from God,
ordained priests - even one priest to every fifty of their number did he
ordain - To preach unto them and to teach them concerning the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
Mosiah 11:97 And it came to pass that King Mosiah granted unto Alma that he might establish churches throughout all the Land of Zarahemla, And gave him power to
ordain priests and teachers over every church.
Moroni 3:2 After they had prayed unto the Father in the name of Christ, they laid their hands upon them and said: "In the name of Jesus Christ I
ordain you to be a priest" - Or if he be a teacher, "I
ordain you to be a teacher" - "To preach repentance and remission of sins through Jesus Christ by the endurance of faith on His name to the end. Amen."
Moroni 3:3 And after this manner did they
ordain priests and teachers, according to the gifts and callings of God unto men; And they
ordained them by the power of the Holy Ghost, which was in them.
