2 It is like oil of great price on the head, flowing down over the face, even Aaron's face: coming down to the edge of his robe;
And make these into a holy oil, a perfume made by the art of the perfume-maker; it is to be a holy oil. This oil is to be put on the Tent of meeting, and on the ark of the law, And on the table and all its vessels, and on the support for the lights, with its vessels, and on the altar for burning spices, And on the altar of burned offerings with its vessels, and on the washing-vessel and its base. And you are to make them most holy; anything touching them will become holy. And put the oil on Aaron and his sons, making them holy to do the work of priests to me.

PSALM 133
Ps 133:1-3. The blessings of fraternal unity.

As the copious dew, such as fell on Hermon, falls in fertilizing power on the mountains of Zion, so this unity is fruitful in good works.
3. there—that is, in Zion, the Church; the material Zion, blessed with enriching dews, suggests this allusion the source of the influence enjoyed by the spiritual Zion.
commanded the blessing—(Compare Ps 68:28).
