R. Jose said: ‘It is written, “He hath established his bond upon the earth (Amos 9, 6), namely, when the King joins her with all his holy Crowns in one company, for then She rules over all and shines above and below;
R. Jose said: ‘When Aaron raised his hands, all raised with him, until the Community of Israel was blessed and higher and lower angels with her. Hence it says, “Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem, Hallelukah” (Ps. 135, 21).’
רִבִּי יוֹסֵי אָמַר, כְּתִיב (עמוס ט׳:ו׳) וַאֲגֻדָּתוֹ עַל אֶרֶץ יְסָדָהּ. וַאֲגֻדָּתוֹ: כַּד אִזְדְּוַוג מַלְכָּא לָקֳבְלָהּ, בְּכָל אִינּוּן עִטְרִין קַדִישִׁין, בִּכְנוּפְיָא חַד, כְּדֵין וַאֲגֻדָּתוֹ כְּתִיב.

רִבִּי יִצְחָק אָמַר, וַאֲגֻדָּתוֹ: כְּמָה דְאַתְּ אָמֵר, (שמות י״ב:כ״ב) וּלְקַחְתֶּם אֲגֻדַּת אֵזוֹב. מַאי קָא מַיְירֵי. דְּכַד מִתְחַבְּרָאן כַּחֲדָא, וְאִתְבָּרְכָא מִנַּיְיהוּ, כְּדֵין שַׁלְטָא עַל כֹּלָּא, וְנַהֲרָא לְעֵילָּא וְתַתָּא. וְכֹלָּא בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּכַהֲנָא פָּלַח פּוּלְחָנָא, וְאַקְרִיב קָרְבְּנָא, וְאַקְטַר קְטֹרֶת, וּמְכַוִּון מִלִּין לְקָרְבָא כֹּלָּא כַּחֲדָא. כְּדֵין כְּתִיב, וַאֲגֻדָּתוֹ עַל אֶרֶץ יְסָדָהּ.
and this at the time when the priest performs his service and brings the offering and burns the incense, uttering fitting prayer the while.’
רִבִּי יוֹסֵי אָמַר, כַּד נָטַל אַהֲרֹן כֹּלָּא נַטְלִין עִמֵּיהּ, עַד דְּאִתְבָּרְכָא כְּנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאִתְבָּרְכָאן עִלָּאֵי וְתַתָּאֵי. כְּדֵין כְּתִיב, (תהילים קל״ה:כ״א) בָּרוּךְ יְיָ' מִצִיּוֹן שׁוֹכֵן יְרוּשָׁלַם הַלְלוּיָהּ. (תהילים ע״ב:י״ט) וּבָרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹדוֹ לְעוֹלָם וְיִמָּלֵא כְבוֹדוֹ אֶת כָּל הָאָרֶץ אָמֵן וְאָמֵן.
