Translation:Verily, how glorious was the appearance of the high priest, when he came forth safe from the holy sanctuary, without any evil occurrence.
Even as the expanded canopy of heaven, was the countenance of the priest. As the lightning that proceedeth from the splendour of the Chajoth (angels) was the countenance of the priest. As the beautiful blue thread in the fringes of the four corners of the garments, was the countenance of the priest. As the appearance of the bow, in the midst of the cloud, was the countenance of the priest. As the majesty with which the Creator attired the patriarchs, was the countenance of the priest. As the rose in the midst of a delightful garden, was the countenance of the priest. As the diadem put on the forehead of a king, was the countenance of the priest. As the amiable tenderness depicted on the face of the bridegroom, was the countenance of the priest. As the beauty of the pure mitre ["mitre" means turban], was the countenance of the priest. As he who sat in concealment, to supplicate the presence of the Supreme King, was the countenance of the priest. As a bright star, in the border of the east, was the countenance of the priest. As the beautiful mantle, and the breast-plate of righteousness, was the coun tenance of the priest. As the angel that stood at the head of the way, was the countenance of the priest. As the light that gleameth in the windows, was the countenance of the priest.
