Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice

The first Sabbath song — the call to praise; the assembly of the angels; the priests of the inner sanctuary that minister before the throne of glory.

1For the Master, the song of the burnt offering of the first sabbath — on the fourth day of the first month. Praise the God of the godlike beings, ye them which are exalted among all the gods of knowledge. Sanctify His name in His glory; for He is God of all the elohim of true knowledge, and Lord of all the spirits of understanding.

2He hath established a holy of holies among the everlasting holy ones; that they might be unto Him priests of the inner sanctuary, even priests of the inner shrine. They are the ministers of the presence in the holy of holies, even of the everlasting King.

3He hath taught their tongues knowledge; that they may bless the wonderful Lord of His holy ones, and may declare His glory in their tongues of knowledge. Their council is for them an eternal blessing; for them is everlasting praise.

4He hath laid the firm foundation of His everlasting building. He hath set out the chief priests of the inner sanctum, that they might serve in the everlasting tabernacle, even continually before Him.

5Of all the eternal princes are they; their place is in the holy of holies. They are the chiefs of the kingdoms of the holy ones, even the chiefs of the priestly kingdoms — even of the seven priesthoods of the inner sanctuary, of the seven chief princes.
