In context

9As fire and incense in the censer, And as a vessel of beaten gold Set with all manner of precious stones:

10And as a fair olive tree budding forth fruit, And as a cypress tree which groweth up to the clouds.

— Sirach 50:11 —

12When he took the portions out of the priests’ hands, He himself stood by the hearth of the altar, Compassed with his brethren round about, As a young cedar in Lebanon; And as palm trees compassed they him round about.

13So were all the sons of Aaron in their glory, And the oblations of the Lord in their hands, Before all the congregation of Israel.
