Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 45:15

ἐπλήρωσε Μωσῆς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτὸν ἐν ἐλαίῳ ἁγίῳ· ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμέραις οὐρανοῦ λειτουργεῖν αὐτῷ ἅμα καὶ ἱερατεύειν καὶ εὐλογεῖν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ.
King James Version (KJV)

Moses consecrated him, and anointed him with holy oil: this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, and bless the people in his name.

Modern English

Moses ordained him and anointed him with holy oil; this was granted to him by an everlasting covenant, and to his descendants, for as long as the heavens endure, so that they might minister to the Lord, serve as priests, and bless the people in his name.
