1 <<A Ma`alot Song. By David.>> See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!
1
How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get along!
2 It is like the precious oil on the head, That ran down on the beard, Even Aharon's beard; That came down on the edge of his robes;
2
It's like costly anointing oil flowing down head and beard, Flowing down Aaron's beard, flowing down the collar of his priestly robes.
3 Like the dew of Hermon, That comes down on the hills of Tziyon: For there the LORD gives the blessing, Even life forevermore.
3
It's like the dew on Mount Hermon flowing down the slopes of Zion. Yes, that's where God commands the blessing, ordains eternal life.
