Sirach 45:16-18

Common English Bible

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.
¹⁸ Strangers conspired against Aaron,
    and they were jealous of him
    in the wilderness;
        those who were with
        Dathan and Abiram
        and the company of Korah
        assembled in anger and fury.
