18
An everlasting covenant was made with him, that all flesh should perish no more by the flood.
19
Abraham was a great father of many people: in glory was there none like unto him;
20
Who kept the law of the most High, and was in covenant with him: he established the covenant
in his flesh; and when he was proved, he was found faithful.
21
Therefore he assured him by an oath, that he would bless the nations in his seed, and that he
would multiply him as the dust of the earth, and exalt his seed as the stars, and cause them to inherit
from sea to sea, and from the river unto the utmost part of the land.
22
With Isaac did he establish likewise
for Abraham his father's sake
the blessing of all men,
and the covenant, And made it rest upon the head of Jacob. He acknowledged him in his blessing,
and gave him an heritage, and divided his portions; among the twelve tribes did he part them.
CHAPTER 45
And he brought out of him a merciful man, which found favour in the sight of all flesh, even Moses,
beloved of God and men, whose memorial is blessed.
2
He made him like to the glorious saints, and magnified him, so that his enemies stood in fear
of him.
3
By his words he caused the wonders to cease, and he made him glorious in the sight of kings,
and gave him a commandment for his people, and shewed him part of his glory.
4
He sanctified him in his faithfuless and meekness, and chose him out of all men.
5
He made him to hear his voice, and brought him into the dark cloud, and gave him
commandments before his face, even the law of life and knowledge, that he might teach Jacob his
covenants, and Israel his judgments.
6
He exalted Aaron, an holy man like unto him, even his brother, of the tribe of Levi.
7
An everlasting covenant he made with him and gave him the priesthood among the people; he
beautified him with comely ornaments, and clothed him with a robe of glory.
8
He put upon him perfect glory; and strengthened him with rich garments, with breeches, with
a long robe, and the ephod.
9
And he compassed him with pomegranates, and with many golden bells round about, that as
he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial
to the children of his people;
10
With an holy garment, with gold, and blue silk, and purple, the work of the embroidere, with
a breastplate of judgment, and with Urim and Thummim;
11
With twisted scarlet, the work of the cunning workman, with precious stones graven like
seals, and set in gold, the work of the jeweller, with a writing engraved for a memorial, after the
number of the tribes of Israel.
12
He set a crown of gold upon the mitre, wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour,
a costly work, the desires of the eyes, goodly and beautiful.
