Sirach 45:20-25 World English Bible (WEB)

20. And he added glory to Aaron, And gave him a heritage: He divided to him the first fruits of the increase; And first did he prepare bread in abundance:

21. For they shall eat the sacrifices of the Lord, Which he gave to him and to his seed.

22. Howbeit in the land of the people he shall have no inheritance, And he has no portion among the people: For he himself is your portion and inheritance.

23. And Phinehas the son of Eleazar is the third in glory, In that he was zealous in the fear of the Lord, And stood fast in the good forwardness of his soul when the people turned away, And he made reconciliation for Israel.

24. Therefore was there a covenant of peace established for him, That he should be leader of the saints and of his people; That he and his seed Should have the dignity of the priesthood for ever.

25. Also he made a covenant with David the son of Jesse, of the tribe of Judah; The inheritance of the king is his alone from son to son; So the inheritance of Aaron is also to his seed.
