Ben Sira 45:6-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. He also raised up, like Moses in holiness,his brother Aaron, of the tribe of Levi.

7. He made his office perpetualand bestowed on him priesthood for his people;He established him in honorand crowned him with lofty majesty.

8. He clothed him in splendid garments,and adorned him with glorious vestments:Breeches, tunic, and robe

9. with pomegranates at the hemAnd a rustle of bells round about,whose pleasing sound at each stepWould make him heard within the sanctuary,a reminder for the people;

10. The sacred vestments of gold, violet,and crimson, worked with embroidery;The breastpiece for decision, the ephod and cincture

11. with scarlet yarn, the work of the weaver;Precious stones with seal engravingsin golden settings, the work of the jeweler,To commemorate in incised letterseach of the tribes of Israel;
