Doctrine and Covenants D&C 85:12
"Therefore, it shall be done unto them as unto the children of the priest, as will be found recorded in the second chapter and sixty-first and second verses of Ezra."
Old Testament Ezra 2:62
"These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood."

The revelation cites rather than quotes: it names the book, the chapter, and both verses, and states that the same thing will be done to those it has excluded, without reproducing any of the cited words. Registered as allusion because there is no shared verbatim run at all; what the two texts share is a procedure and an outcome. Verse 62 is paired because it is the verse stating the consequence the revelation invokes; Ezra 2:61, also named in the citation, is registered as its own pair (dcq-dc85-12-ezra2-61) at the 2026-08-10 editorial review under the enumeration-carry ruling.
