1
He brought out of him a man of mercy,
2
He made him equal to the glory of the saints,
3
By his words he caused the wonders to cease.
4
He sanctified him in his faithfulness and meekness.
5
He made him to hear his voice,
6
He exalted Aaron, a holy man like Moses,
7
He established an everlasting covenant with him,
8
He clothed him in perfect splendor,
9
He encircled him with pomegranates;
10
with a holy garment, with gold, blue, and purple, the work of the embroiderer;
11
with twisted scarlet, the work of the craftsman;
12
with a crown of gold upon the mitre, having engraved on it, as on a signet, “HOLINESS”,
13
Before him there never have been anything like it.
14
His sacrifices shall be wholly burned,
15
Moses consecrated him,
16
He chose him out of all living
17
He gave to him in his commandments,
18
Strangers conspired against him
19
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him.
20
He added glory to Aaron,
21
For they eat the sacrifices of the Lord,
22
However, in the land of the people, he has no inheritance,
23
Phinehas the son of Eleazar is the third in glory,
24
Therefore, a covenant of peace was established for him,
25
Also he made a covenant with David the son of Jesse, of the tribe of Judah.

May God give you wisdom in your heart
