3. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and he gave commandments to him in the sight of his people, and he revealed his glory to him.
4. He made him holy by his faith and meekness, and he chose him from among all flesh.
5. For he heard him and his voice, and he led him into a cloud.
6. And he gave him precepts in his presence, with a law of life and discipline, so as to teach Jacob his covenant and Israel his judgments.
7. He exalted his brother Aaron and those who were similar to him from the tribe of Levi.
8. He established an eternal covenant with him, and he gave him the priesthood of the people, and he caused him to be blessed in glory.
9. And he encircled him with a glorious belt, and he clothed him with a robe of glory, and he crowned him with virtuous attire.
10. He placed upon him a garment to the feet, and pants, and an ephod, and he wrapped him all around with many little bells of gold,
11. so that there would be a sound at his arrival, and so as to make a noise that would be heard in the temple, as a memorial for the sons of his people.
12. He provided him with a holy robe of gold and hyacinth and purple, a woven work for a wise man of judgment and truth,
13. a work of twisted scarlet, the work of an artist, with precious stones, cut and set in gold, and engraved by the work of a jeweler, as a memorial according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
14. He provided him with a crown of gold upon his headdress, on which was written a symbol of holiness, a mark of honor. This was a work of virtue and a delight to the eyes in its beauty.
15. Prior to him, there was no one of such beauty, even from the beginning.
16. No foreigner was ever clothed with these things, but only his sons and his descendents alone, for all time.
