Sirach 50:12LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 12 of 31

"When he went up to the holy altar, he honoured the vesture of holiness."
Sirach 50:12

In context

10As a massy vessel of gold, adorned with every precious stone.

11As an olive tree budding forth, and a cypress tree rearing itself on high, when he put on the robe of glory, and was clothed with the perfection of power.

12When he went up to the holy altar, he honoured the vesture of holiness.

13And when he took the portions out of the hands of the priests, he himself stood by the altar. And about him was the ring of his brethren: and as the cedar planted in mount Libanus,

14And as branches of palm trees, they stood round about him, and all the sons of Aaron in their glory.
