The result of the Lord's purification of the Levites will be the purification of worship, especially the sacrificial offerings. In the second disputation, the Lord accused the people of offering defiled sacrifices, and he accused the priests of dereliction of duty for failing to safeguard the purity of the altar and the honour of God’s name, by accepting offering to the Lord the defiled sacrifices that the people brought to the temple. But when the Lord came to purify the Levites, they would offer sacrifices to him as prescribed in his law, with the right disposition of heart and mind.
3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the LORD.
