All the sons of Aaron in their glory;

With the fire-offerings of the Lord in their hand,

Before all the congregation of Israel;

Until he had finished serving the altar,

And arranging the fires of the Most High.

Then sounded the sons of Aaron, the priests,

With trumpets of beaten work;

And they sounded, and made their mighty voice heard,

To bring to remembrance before the Most High.

All flesh hastened together,

And fell down on their faces to the ground;

Worshipping before the Most High,

Before the Holy One of Israel.

And the choir uttered its voice,

And over the multitude they made sweet melody.

And all the people of the land chanted,

In prayer before the Merciful;

Until he had finished serving the altar,

And had brought his customary offerings unto it.

Then he came down, and lifted up his hands

Over all the congregation of Israel;

And the blessing of the Lord was on his lips,

And in the name of the Lord he gloried.

And they bowed down again a second time,

The people, all of them, before Him.
