The praise of Moses, Aaron, and Phineas.
AND Moses, the beloved of God and men, brought he forth, whose remembrance is blessed.
He made him like to the glorious Saints, and magnified him by the fear of his enemies.
By his words he caused the wonders to cease, and he made him glorious in the sight of Kings, and gave him commandments for his people, and showed him his glory.
He sanctified him with faithfulness, and meekness, and chose him out of all men.
He caused him to hear his voice, and brought him into the dark cloud, and there he gave him the commandments before his face, even the Law of life and knowledge, that he night teach Iacob the covenant, and Israel his judgements.
He exalted Aaron an holy man like unto him, even his brother of the tribe of Levi.
An everlasting covenant made he with him, and gave him the priesthood among the people, and made him blessed through his comely ornament, and clothed him with the garment of honor.
He put perfect joy upon him, and girded him with ornaments of strength, as with breeches, and a tunicle, and an ephod.
He compassed him about with bells of gold, and with many bellies around about, that when he went in, the sound might be heard, and might make a noise in the Sanctuary, for a remembrance to the children of Israel his people,
And with an holy garment, with gold also, and blue silk, and purple, and diverse kinds of works, and with a breastplate of judgement, and with the signs of truth,
And with work of scarlet cunningly wrought, and with precious stones graven like seals, and set in gold by goldsmiths work for a memorial with a writing graven after the number of the tribes of Israel.
And with a crown of gold upon the mitre, bearing the form and mark of holiness, an ornament of honor, a noble work garnished, and pleasant to look upon.

Their sacrifices were wholly consumed every day twice continually.
Moses filled his hands, and anointed him with holy oil: this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that he should minister before him, and also to execute the office of the priesthood, and bless his people in his name.
Before all men living the Lord chose him that he should present offerings before him, and a sweet savor for a remembrance to make reconciliation for his people.
He gave him also his commandments and authority according to the Laws appointed, that he should teach Iacob the testimonies, and give light unto Israel by his Law.
Strangers stood up against him, and envied him in the wilderness, even the man that took Dathans and Abriams part, and the company of Core in fury and rage.
This the Lord saw, and it displeased him, and in his wrathful indignation were they consumed: he did wonders upon them, and consumed them with the fiery flame.
But he made Aaron more honorable, and gave him an heritage, and parted the first fruits of the first born unto him: unto him specially he appointed bread in abundance.
For the Priests did eat of the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave unto him and to his seed.
Else had he none heritage in the land of his people, neither had he any portion among the people: for the Lord is the portion of his inheritance.
The third in glory is Phineas the son of Eleazar, because he had zeal in the fear of the Lord, and stood up with good courage of heart, when the people were turned back, and made reconciliation for Israel.
Therefore was there a covenant of peace made with him, that he should be the chief of the Sanctuary and of his people, and that he and his posterity should have the dignity of the priesthood for ever,
And according to the covenant made with David, that the inheritance of the kingdom should remain to his son of the tribe of Iuda: so the heritage of Aaron should be to the only son of his son, and to his seed. God give us wisdom in our heart to judge his people in righteousness, that the good things that they have, be not abolished, and that their glory may endure for their posterity.
