Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 45:25

καὶ διαθήκην τῷ Δαυὶδ υἱῷ Ἰεσσαὶ ἐκ φυλῆς Ἰούδα, κληρονομία βασιλέως υἱοῦ ἐξ υἱοῦ μόνου· κληρονομία Ἀαρὼν καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ.
King James Version (KJV)

According to the covenant made with David son of Jesse, of the tribe of Juda, that the inheritance of the king should be to his posterity alone: so the inheritance of Aaron should also be unto his seed.

Modern English

just as the covenant was made with David son of Jesse, of the tribe of Judah, that the king's inheritance should pass to his descendants alone — so too Aaron's inheritance should pass to his descendants.
