14 Finishing the service at the altars,[a]
    and arranging the offering to the Most High, the Almighty,
15 he held out his hand for the cup
    and poured a drink-offering of the blood of the grape;
he poured it out at the foot of the altar,
    a pleasing odour to the Most High, the king of all.
16 Then the sons of Aaron shouted;
    they blew their trumpets of hammered metal;
they sounded a mighty fanfare
    as a reminder before the Most High.
