Sirach 45:5-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. For he heard him and his voice, and he led him into a cloud.

6. And he gave him precepts in his presence, with a law of life and discipline, so as to teach Jacob his covenant and Israel his judgments.

7. He exalted his brother Aaron and those who were similar to him from the tribe of Levi.

8. He established an eternal covenant with him, and he gave him the priesthood of the people, and he caused him to be blessed in glory.

9. And he encircled him with a glorious belt, and he clothed him with a robe of glory, and he crowned him with virtuous attire.

10. He placed upon him a garment to the feet, and pants, and an ephod, and he wrapped him all around with many little bells of gold,

11. so that there would be a sound at his arrival, and so as to make a noise that would be heard in the temple, as a memorial for the sons of his people.
