Psalms 133

1.Beholde, how good and how comelie a thing it is, brethren to dwell even atogether.
2.It is like to the precious bointment upon the head, that runneth down upon the beard, even unto Aaron’s beard, which went down to the border of his garments:
3.And as the dew of cHermón, which falleth upon the mountains of Zión: for dthere the Lord appointed the blessing & life for ever.

The ointment was a figure of the graces, which come from Christ the head unto his Church.

By Hermon & Zion he means the plentiful country about Jerusalem.
