12
He gave him a holy robe of gold, and blue, and purple, a woven work of a wise man, endued with judgment and truth:
13
Of twisted scarlet the work of an artist, with precious stones cut and set in gold, and graven by the work of a lapidary for a memorial, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
14
And a crown of gold upon his mitre wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour: a work of power, and delightful to the eyes for its beauty.
15
Before him there were none so beautiful, even from the beginning.
16
No stranger was ever clothed with them, but only his children alone, and his grandchildren for ever.
17
His sacrifices were consumed with fire every day.
18
Moses filled his hands and anointed him with holy oil.
19
This was made to him for an everlasting testament, and to his seed as the days of heaven, to execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise, and to glorify his people in his name.
20
He chose him out of all men living, to offer sacrifice to God, incense, and a good savour, for a memorial to make reconciliation for his people:
21
And he gave him power in his commandments, in the covenants of his judgments, that he should teach Jacob his testimonies, and give light to Israel in his law.
22
And strangers stood up against him, and through envy the men that were with Dathan and Abiron, compassed him about in the wilderness, and the congregation of Core in their wrath.
