Ben Sira 50:14

14 Finishing the service at the altars, and arranging the offering to the Most High, the Almighty,

Ben Sira 50:14 In-Context

12 When he received the portions from the hands of the priests, as he stood by the hearth of the altar with a garland of brothers around him, he was like a young cedar on Lebanon surrounded by the trunks of palm trees.
13 All the sons of Aaron in their splendor held the Lord's offering in their hands before the whole congregation of Israel.
14 Finishing the service at the altars, and arranging the offering to the Most High, the Almighty,
15 he held out his hand for the cup and poured a drink offering of the blood of the grape; he poured it out at the foot of the altar, a pleasing odor to the Most High, the king of all.
16 Then the sons of Aaron shouted; they blew their trumpets of hammered metal; they sounded a mighty fanfare as a reminder before the Most High.
