Sirach 45:1-5

Common English Bible

45 dearly loved by God
and human beings—
    Moses, who is remembered
    with blessing.
² The Lord made Moses’ glory
equal to that of the holy ones,
    and he made Moses great
    so that Moses’ enemies would fear him.
³ By Moses’ words,
he brought signs to a halt;^[a]
    the Lord glorified Moses
    in the presence of kings.
    The Lord gave Moses commandments
    for his people,
        and he showed Moses his glory.
⁴ The Lord ordained Moses
because of his faithfulness
and gentleness;
    he chose him out of all human beings.
⁵ The Lord let Moses hear his voice;
    he led him into the deep darkness,
    and he gave Moses commandments
    face-to-face,
        an instruction for life,
        and knowledge to teach the covenant
        to Jacob and his laws to Israel.
