Shirach — 45
Musha
1 From Ya'aqub descendants 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH brought forth a man of mercy, who found favor in the sight of all flesh and was beloved by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and men, Musha, whose memory is baraked.
2 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH made Musha equal in Kabad to the Qadash ones, and made Musha great in the fears of his enemies.
3 By Musha words he caused signs to cease; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH esteem Musha in the presence of kings, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH gave Musha commands for His people, and showed him part of his Kabad.
4 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH sanctified Musha through faithfulness and meekness; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH chose Musha out of all mankind.
5 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH made Musha hear His voice, and led Musha into the thick darkness, and gave him the commandments face to face, the Turah (law) of life and knowledge, to teach Ya'aqub the covenant, and Yashar'AL his judgments.
Aarun
6 He exalted Aarun, the brother of Musha, a Qadash man like him, of the tribe of Lauy.
7 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH made an everlasting covenant with Aarun, and gave him the Kuhan position (priesthood) of the people, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH baraked him with splendid vestments, and put an esteemed robe upon Aarun.
8 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH clothed Aarun with superb perfection, and strengthened him with the symbols of authority, the linen breeches, the long robe, and the ephod.
9 And he encircled him with pomegranates, with very many golden bells round about, to send forth a sound as he walked, to make their ringing heard in the temple as a reminder to the sons of His people;
10 with a Qadash garment, of gold and blue and purple, the work of an embroiderer; with the oracle of judgment, Urim and Thummim;
11 with twisted scarlet, the work of a craftsman; with precious stones engraved like signets, in a setting of gold, the work of a jeweler, for a reminder, in engraved letters, according to the number of the tribes of Yashar'AL;
12 with a gold crown upon his turban, inscribed like a signet with “qadashym, ”a distinction to be prized, the work of an expert, the delight of the eyes, richly adorned.
13 Before his time there never were such beautiful things, No outsider ever put them on, but only his sons and his descendants perpetually.
14 His sacrifices shall be wholly burned twice every day continually.
15 Musha ordained him, and anointed him with Qadash oil; it was an everlasting covenant for him and for his descendants all the days of Shamaym, to minister to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and serve as Kuhan and barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH's people in His Name.
16 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH chose Aarun out of all the living to offer sacrifice to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, incense and a pleasing odor as a memorial portion, to make atonement for the people.
17 In 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH's commandments He gave Aarun authority and statutes and judgments, to teach Ya'aqub the testimonies, and to enlighten Yashar'AL with His law.
18 Outsiders conspired against Aarun, and envied him in the wilderness, Dathan and Abi′ram and their men and the company of Kurah, in wrath and anger.
19 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH saw it and was not pleased, and in the wrath of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH's anger they were destroyed; He wrought wonders against them to consume them in flaming fire.
20 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH added Kabad to Aarun and gave him a heritage; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH allotted to Aarun the first of the first fruits, he prepared bread of first fruits in abundance;
21 for they eat the sacrifices to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH gave to Aarun and his descendants.
22 But in the land of the people he has no inheritance, and he has no portion among the people; for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH himself is his portion and inheritance.
Phinahas
23 Phinahas the son of Alaazar is the third in Kabad, for he was zealous in the fear of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and stood fast, when the people turned away, in the ready goodness of his soul, and made atonement for Yashar'AL.
24 Therefore a covenant of Shalum was established with him, that he should be leader of the sanctuary and of his people, that he and his descendants should have the dignity of the Kuhanhood for ever.
25 A covenant was also established with Daud, the son of Yassa, of the tribe of Yahudah: the heritage of the king is from son to son only; so the heritage of Aarun is for his descendants.
26 May 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH grant you wisdom in your heart to judge His people in righteousness, so that their prosperity may not vanish, and that their Kabad may endure throughout their generations.
