39  Let the residue of the elders ^awatch over the churches, and declare the word in the regions round about them; and let them labor with their own hands that there be no idolatry nor wickedness practiced.

  29  And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the ^aelders of the children of Israel:

  1  And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the ^belders of Israel;

  1  The manner which the disciples, who were called the ^aelders of the church, ordained priests and teachers—

  7  And they were strict to observe that there should be no iniquity among them; and whoso was found to commit iniquity, and three witnesses of the church did condemn them before the ^celders, and if they repented not, and confessed not, their names were blotted out, and they were not numbered among the people of Christ.

  2  But notwithstanding those things which are written, it always has been given to the ^aelders of my church from the beginning, and ever shall be, to conduct all meetings as they are directed and guided by the Holy Spirit.
