7. As the sun shining forth upon the temple of the Most High, And as the rainbow giving light in clouds of glory:
8. As the flower of roses in the days of new fruits, As lilies at the waterspring, As the shoot of the frankencense tree in the time of summer:
9. As fire and incense in the censer, As a vessel all of beaten gold Adorned with all manner of precious stones:
10. As an olive tree budding forth fruits, And as a cypress growing high among the clouds.
11. When he took up the robe of glory, And put on the perfection of exultation, In the ascent of the holy altar, He made glorious the precinct of the sanctuary.
12. And when he received the portions out of the priests’ hands, Himself also standing by the hearth of the altar, His brethren as a garland round about him, He was as a young cedar in Libanus; And as stems of palm trees compassed they him round about,
13. And all the sons of Aaron in their glory, And the Lord’s offering in their hands, before all the congregation of Israel.
14. And finishing the service at the altars, That he might adorn the offering of the Most High, the Almighty,
15. He stretched out his hand to the cup, And poured out the cup of the grape; He poured out at the foot of the altar A sweet smelling savor to the Most High, the King of all.
16. Then shouted the sons of Aaron, They sounded the trumpets of beaten work, They made a great noise to be heard, For a remembrance before the Most High.
17. Then all the people together hasted, And fell down upon the earth on their faces To worship their Lord, the Almighty, God Most High.
18. The singers also praised him with their voices; In the whole house was there made sweet melody.
19. And the people implored the Lord Most High, In prayer before him that is merciful. Till the worship of the Lord should be ended; And so they accomplished his service.
20. Then he went down, and lifted up his hands Over the whole congregation of the children of Israel, To give blessing to the Lord with his lips, And to glory in his name.
