### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Malachi pictures God as a refiner of silver who purifies the sons of Levi so that their offerings are right. The image of fire refining metal is a picture of cleansing. Interpretation: The tradition reads this as a promise that the Temple service will one day be made pure. The refiner watches until the metal shows his own face.

### examples

- And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver; and there shall be they that shall offer unto the LORD offerings in righteousness. (Prophets MAL.3.3, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/P/purifier/#x1)
