Psalms 133:2

It is like fine oil poured on the head which flows down the beard ¹  – Aaron’s beard, and then flows down his garments. ² 

Ex 30:25-30; Le 8:12; Ps 141:5; Pr 27:9; So 1:3; Joh 12:3

¹ tn Heb “[it is] like the good oil on the head, going down on the beard.”

² tn Heb “which goes down in accordance with his measured things.” The Hebrew phrase מִדּוֹתָיו (middotayv, “his measured things”) refers here to the robes worn by Aaron. HALOT 546 s.v. *מַד derives the form from מַד (midah, “robe”) rather than מִדָּה (middah, “measured thing”). Ugaritic md means “robe” and is pluralized mdt.
