12 When he received the portionsof the sacrificial animalsfrom the priests’ hands,standing beside the altar’s hearth, surrounded by a wreath of brothers,he was like a new cedar of Lebanon,and they surrounded himlike palm-tree trunks.
13 All Aaron’s sons were in their glory,and they held the Lord’s offeringin their handsin front of the entire assemblyof Israel.
14 When he was finishing his serviceat the altar,after he had arranged an offeringto the Most High, the almighty,
15 he stretched out his handfor the cup used for drink offeringsand he poured a libation of wine.He poured it out at the baseof the altar,a pleasing aroma to the Most High,the king of all.
16 Then Aaron’s sons cheered;they blew trumpetsmade of hammered metaland caused a great sound to be heardas a reminder before the Most High.
17 Then all at once, all the peopleput their faces to the ground,bowing down to worship their Lord,the almighty, God Most High.
18 The singers, accompanied by harps,sang praises with their voices;they made a sweet melodywith a full-bodied sound.
