Sirach 45:8–14

8 And He clothed him hwith the perfection of adornmenth,

iAnd adorned himi jwith splendid vestmentsj k—

lThe breechesl, mthe tunic and robem n—

9 And encompassed him owith pomegranates,

And with resounding bellso round about,

pThat he might make musicp with his steps,

So as to cause, the sound of him to be audible qin the inmost shrineq,

For a memorial for the children of his people:

10 r(With) the holy garments of gold and violet

And purpler, the work of the designer;

(With) the breastplate of judgement, s(with) the ephod and waistcloths,

11 tAnd (with) scarlett, the work of the weaver;

(With) precious stones useal-engravenu

vIn settingsv, w〈the work of the stone-engraver〉w x;

HB For a memorial in graven writing,

According to the number of the tribes of Israel.

12 (With) the crown of pure gold y〈(resting) upon〉 the mitrey,

zThe diadem engraven, ‘Holy to Jahveh’ z—

aMajesty most glorious, praise most puissanta,

bThe desire of the eyes, and the perfection of beautyb!

13 cBefore him there was nothing like themc,

dAnd no stranger shall He clothe therewith for everd:

eSo 〈He trusted him and〉 his sonse,

fAnd 〈his sons’ sons〉f gthroughout their generationsg.

14 His (Aaron’s) meal-offering is wholly consumed

hTwice every day as a continual sacrificeh.
