Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard, Coming down upon the edge of his robes. (NASB) Ps. 133:1-2

The precious oil is being used as an illustration of "brothers dwelling together in unity." Most of us will ask how does that make sense? The answer is found in Exodus 30:22-33.


Answer:

A Song of Ascents; of David.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity.
Like precious oil anointed upon one's head, coming down upon the beard; Aaron's beard, which extends down upon the collar of his garments.
Like the dew of Mount Hermon, which flows down upon the mountains of Zion; for there God commanded the blessing of life for ever.

Who wrote psalm 19?

It was by King David:-Psa 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!Psa 133:2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;Psa 133:3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.Dr John MacArthur in "The MacArthur Study Bible" saysthe occasion [my italics] for this Davidic psalm is unknown.
