he people in his coming
out of the sanctuary!

Sir 50:6
He was as the morning star in the midst of a cloud, and as the moon
at the full:

Sir 50:7
As the sun shining upon the temple of the most High, and as
the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds:

Sir 50:8
And as the flower of roses in the spring of the year, as lilies
by the rivers of waters, and as the branches of the frankincense
tree in the time of summer:

Sir 50:9
As fire and incense in the censer, and as a vessel of beaten
gold set with all manner of precious stones:

Sir 50:10
And as a fair olive tree budding forth fruit, and as a cypress tree
which groweth up to the clouds.

Sir 50:11
When he put on the robe of honour, and was clothed with the
perfection of glory, when he went up to the holy altar, he made

most High.

Sir 50:18
The singers also sang praises with their voices, with great
variety of sounds was there made sweet melody.

Sir 50:19

congregation of the children of Israel, to give the blessing of
the Lord with his lips, and to rejoice in his name.
