Sirach 24:8-10

Revised Standard Version

⁸ “Then the Creator of all things gave me a commandment,
    and the one who created me assigned a place for my tent.
And he said, ‘Make your dwelling in Jacob,
    and in Israel receive your inheritance.’
⁹ From eternity, in the beginning, he created me,
    and for eternity I shall not cease to exist.
¹⁰ In the holy tabernacle I ministered before him,
    and so I was established in Zion.
