Читать книгу Torah. The Pentateuch of Moses in weekly chapters, in poetic form - - Страница 22

G-d commanded the children of Israel to sacrifice only pure olive oil,

For the altar of continual sacrifice, so that Aaron in the sanctuary could keep the fire burning.

Not for Himself did G-d ask to light the minora, But that it should not go out,

The merit of the children of Israel and of the other nations could not fade away.

Then the Creator commanded Moshe to sew and sanctify special garments for the kohen,

To conduct the sacred service in the Temple.

Aaron was chosen high priest as a token of his zeal,

The altar of incense was entrusted to Aaron to find.
