Sirach 47:2
Print
Just as the fat is separated from the offering of well-being, so David was set apart from the Israelites.
And as the fat taken away from the flesh, so was David chosen from among the children of Israel.
As the choice fat portion of the fellowship offering is reserved for the Lord, so David was chosen from among the Israelites.
Like the choice fat of sacred offerings, so was David in Israel.
Just as the fat of the sacred offerings is set apart, so David was chosen out of all Israel.
As the fat is set apart from the offering of well-being, so David was set apart from the Israelites.
As the fat is set apart from the offering of well-being, so David was set apart from the Israelites.
As the fat is set apart from the offering of well-being, so David was set apart from the Israelites.
As the fat is set apart from the offering of well-being, so David was set apart from the Israelites.
As the fat is selected from the peace offering, so David was selected from the sons of Israel.
As the fat is selected from the peace offering, so David was selected from the sons of Israel.
And as inner fatness departed from the flesh, so David from the sons of Israel. [As tallow severed from the flesh, so David from the sons of Israel.]
