Ecclesiasticus 50:13-18 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

13. And when he took the portions out of the hands of the priests, he himself stood by the altar. And about him was the ring of his brethren: and as the cedar planted in mount Libanus,

14. And as branches of palm trees, they stood round about him, and all the sons of Aaron in their glory.

15. And the oblation of the Lord was in their hands, before all the congregation of Israel: and finishing his service, on the altar, to honour the offering of the most high Ring,

16. He stretched forth his hand to make a libation, and offered of the blood of the grape.

17. He poured out at the foot of the altar a divine odour to the most high Prince.

18. Then the sons of Aaron shouted, they sounded with beaten trumpets, and made a great noise to be heard for a remembrance before God.
