And he brought out of him a man of mercy,

2 He made him like 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 unto him,

7 He established for him an everlasting covenant,

8 He clothed him with the perfection of exultation;

9 And he compassed him with pomegranates of gold,

10 With a holy garment, with gold and 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 miter, having graven on it, as on a signet, HOLINESS,

13 Before him there never have been any such;

14 His sacrifices shall be wholly consumed

15 Moses consecrated him,

16 He chose him out of all living

17 He gave unto him in his commandments,

18 Strangers gathered themselves together against him,

19 The Lord saw it, and it displeased him;

20 And he added glory to Aaron,

21 For they shall eat the sacrifices of the Lord,

22 Howbeit in the land of the people he shall have no inheritance,

23 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar is the third in glory,

24 Therefore was there a covenant of peace established for him,

25 Also he made a covenant with David the son of Jesse, of the tribe of Judah;

26 God give you wisdom in your heart
