Chapter 45

1

AND he brought out of him a merciful man, which found favor in the sight of all flesh, even Mosheh, beloved of Elohiym and men, whose memorial is blessed.

2

He made him like to the glorious qodeshiym, and magnified him, so that his enemies stood in fear of him.

3

By his words he caused the wonders to cease, and he made him glorious in the sight of kings, and gave him a commandment for his people, and showed him part of his glory.

4

He sanctified him in his faithfuless and meekness, and chose him out of all men.

5

He made him to hear his voice, and brought him into the dark cloud, and gave him commandments before his face, even the Torah of life and knowledge, that he might teach Ya`aqov his covenants, and Yashar'el his judgments.

6

He exalted Aharon, a righteous man like unto him, even his brother, of the tribe of Leviy.

7

An everlasting covenant he made with him and gave him the priesthood among the people; he beautified him with comely ornaments, and clothed him with a robe of glory.

8

He put upon him perfect glory; and strengthened him with rich garments, with breeches, with a long robe, and the ephod.

9

And he compassed him with pomegranates, and with many golden bells round about, that as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the Temple, for a memorial to the children of his people;

10

With a holy garment, with gold, and blue silk, and purple, the work of the embroidery, with a breastplate of judgment, and with Uriym and Tummiym;

11

With twisted scarlet, the work of the cunning workman, with precious stones graven like seals, and set in gold, the work of the jeweler, with a writing engraved for a memorial, after the number of the tribes of Yashar'el.

12

He set a crown of gold upon the turban, wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honor, a costly work, the desires of the eyes, goodly and beautiful.

13

Before him there were none such, neither did ever any stranger put them on, but only his children and his children's children perpetually.

14

Their sacrifices shall be wholly consumed every day twice continually.

15

Mosheh consecrated him, and anointed him with holy oil: this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, and bless the people in his name.

16

He chose him out of all men living to offer sacrifices to Yahuah, incense, and a sweet savor, for a memorial, to make reconciliation for his people.

17

He gave unto him his commandments, and authority in the statutes of judgments, that he should teach Ya`aqov the testimonies, and inform Yashar'el in his Torah.

18

Strangers conspired together against him, and maligned him in the wilderness, even the men that were of Dathan's and Aviyram's side, and the assembly of Qorach, with fury and wrath.

19

This Yahuah saw, and it displeased him, and in his wrathful indignation were they consumed: he did wonders upon them, to consume them with the fiery flame.

20

But he made Aharon more honorable, and gave him a heritage, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase; especially he prepared bread in abundance:

21

For they eat of the sacrifices of Yahuah, which he gave unto him and his seed.

22

Howbeit in the land of the people he had no inheritance, neither had he any portion among the people: for Yahuah himself is his portion and inheritance.

23

The third in glory is Piynechac the son of El`azar, because he had zeal in the fear of Yahuah, and stood up with good courage of heart: when the people were turned back, and made reconciliation for Yashar'el.

24

Therefore was there a covenant of peace made with him, that he should be the chief of the sanctuary and of his people, and that he and his posterity should have the dignity of the priesthood forever:

25

According to the covenant made with David son of Yishai, of the tribe of Yahudah, that the inheritance of the king should be to his posterity alone: so the inheritance of Aharon should also be unto his seed.

26

Elohiym give you wisdom in your heart to judge his people in righteousness, that their good things be not abolished, and that their glory may endure forever.
