Ps 133:1How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion.For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. NIV Ps 133Behold, how good and how pleasant is for brethren to dwell together in unity!2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard,The beard of Aaron,Running down on the edge of his garments. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing --Life forevermore. NKJV
