Sirach 45:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 He made an everlasting covenant with him
and gave him the priesthood of the people.
He blessed him with stateliness
and put a glorious robe on him.(A)
8 He clothed him in perfect splendor[a]
and strengthened him with the apparel of authority,
the linen undergarments, the long robe, and the ephod.(B)
9 And he encircled him with pomegranates,
with many golden bells all around,
to send forth a sound as he walked,
to make their ringing heard in the temple
as a reminder to his people;(C)
