There are two Scriptures that reference oil on Aaron's Beard: Leviticus 8:12, "And he (Moses) poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him, to sanctify him." Aaron was set apart (sanctified) and anointed as high priest. The second Scripture is found in Psalm 133: "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron...For there the Lord commanded the blessing - life forever more." Oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit and is often used in anointing services - thus anointed with the Holy Spirit. Aaron was anointed by the Holy Spirit for his ministry as High Priest. Psalm 133 reminds us that when believers dwell together in unity, that same anointing (blessing) of the Holy Spirit is upon them.
