Psalms 133:2


Like the precious oil [Ex. 30:22–33] on the head
– it flows down over
the beard (chin, cheeks – Hebr. zaqan),
Aaron's beard,
the one that flows down
onto his colored robe.
[Unlike the other priests, the high priest wore a robe with many colors. We often imagine a goatee, but here it is probably the priest's side locks (long sideburns, in Hebrew peijot, from the word for corner, see Lev. 19:27) that lie against the robe that is referred to. Fragrant oil was used during celebrations, so the image here is one of joy and celebration, see Ps. 23:5; 141:5. The oil was also used when a priest or king was crowned, see Ex. 29:7; Lev. 8:12.]
