Sirach 45:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Moses ordained Aaron
    and anointed him with holy oil;
        it became an everlasting covenant
        for him
            and for his descendants
            for as long as heaven lasts,
        to minister to God,
        to be a priest at the same time,
            and to bless his people in his name.
¹⁶ Moses chose him
out of all who were alive
    to offer fruitful sacrifices to the Lord,
        incense and a pleasing aroma
        as a remembrance,
        to secure reconciliation for the people.
¹⁷ By his commandments,
the Lord gave him authority
over covenants for judgment,
    to teach Jacob the testimonies,
    and to enlighten Israel with his Law.
