Sirach 45:7-9
Common English Bible
7 The Lord established
an eternal covenant with him
and gave him the priesthood
of the people.
He blessed Aaron with dignity,
and wrapped him in a glorious cloak.
8 The Lord clothed him
with unrivaled praise,[a]
and honored him
with objects of power—
leggings, a full-length robe,
and the priestly vest.
9 He encircled Aaron with pomegranates,
with a great number of gold bells
all around,
in order to create a sound
when he stepped,
to make a sound that would be heard
in the temple,
as a reminder for the children
of the Lord’s people.
