50:6. He shone in his days as the morning star in the midst of a cloud,
and as the moon at the full.
50:7. And as the sun when it shineth, so did he shine in the temple of
God.
50:8. And as the rainbow giving light in bright clouds, and as the
flower of roses in the days of the spring, and as the lilies that are on
the brink of the water, and as the sweet smelling frankincense in the
time of summer.
50:9. As a bright fire, and frankincense burning in the fire.
50:10. As a massy vessel of gold, adorned with every precious stone.
50:11. As an olive tree budding forth, and a cypress tree rearing itself
on high, when he put on the robe of glory, and was clothed with the
perfection of power.
Clothed with the perfection of power... That is, with all the vestments
denoting his dignity and authority.
50:12. When he went up to the holy altar, he honoured the vesture of
holiness.
50:13. And when he took the portions out of the hands of the priests, he
himself stood by the altar. And about him was the ring of his brethren:
and as the cedar planted in mount Libanus,
50:14. And as branches of palm trees, they stood round about him, and
all the sons of Aaron in their glory.
50:15. And the oblation of the Lord was in their hands, before all the
congregation of Israel: and finishing his service, on the altar, to
honour the offering of the most high King,
50:16. He stretched forth his hand to make a libation, and offered of
the blood of the grape.
50:17. He poured out at the foot of the altar a divine odour to the most
high Prince.
50:18. Then the sons of Aaron shouted, they sounded with beaten
trumpets, and made a great noise to be heard for a remembrance before
God.
50:19. Then all the people together made haste, and fell down to the
earth upon their faces, to adore the Lord their God, and to pray to the
Almighty God the most High.
50:20. And the singers lifted up their voices, and in the great house
the sound of sweet melody was increased.
50:21. And the people in prayer besought the Lord the most High, until
the worship of the Lord was perfected, and they had finished their
office.
50:22. Then coming down, he lifted up his hands over all the
congregation of the children of Israel, to give glory to God with his
lips, and to glory in his name:
50:23. And he repeated his prayer, willing to shew the power of God.
50:24. And now pray ye to the God of all, who hath done great things in
all the earth, who hath increased our days from our mother's womb, and
hath done with us according to his mercy.
50:25. May he grant us joyfulness of heart, and that there be peace in
our days in Israel for ever:
50:26. That Israel may believe that the mercy of God is with us, to
deliver us in his days.
50:27. There are two nations which my soul abhorreth: and the third is
no nation: which I hate:
Abhorreth... Viz., with a holy indignation, as enemies of God and
persecutors of his people. Such were then the Edomites who abode in
mount Seir, the Philistines, and the Samaritans who dwelt in Sichem, and
had their schismatical temple in that neighbourhood.
