In context

7An 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.

8He put upon him perfect glory; And strengthened him with rich garments, With breeches, with a long robe, and the ephod.

— Sirach 45:9 —

10With a holy garment, with gold, and blue silk, And purple, the work of the embroiderer, With a breastplate of judgment, with the revealers of truth;

11With twisted scarlet, the work of the cunning workman, With precious stones graven like seals, And set in gold, the work of the jeweler, With a writing engraved for a memorial, After the number of the tribes of Israel.
