Sirach 24:10
King James VersionSource notes
“In the holy tabernacle I served before him; and so was I established in Sion.”
Context
7With all these I sought rest: and in whose inheritance shall I abide?
8So the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and he that made me caused my tabernacle to rest, and said, Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inheritance in Israel.
9He created me from the beginning before the world, and I shall never fail.
10In the holy tabernacle I served before him; and so was I established in Sion.
11Likewise in the beloved city he gave me rest, and in Jerusalem was my power.
12And I took root in an honourable people, even in the portion of the Lord’s inheritance.
13I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree upon the mountains of Hermon.
