VBL · Chapter 133/150
1Un cántico de los peregrinos que van a Jerusalén. Un salmo de David ¡Cuán bueno y delicioso es que las personas vivan juntas en armonía!
2Es tan precioso como el aceite utilizado para ungir a Aarón, deslizándose desde su cabeza hasta su barba, y sobre sus vestiduras.
3Es como el rocío de Hermón que cae sobre las montañas de Sión. Es ahí donde Dios da su bendición y la vida eterna.
A short, beautiful song celebrating the blessing of unity among brothers, comparing it to the fragrant oil that flows from the head down to Aaron's beard, and to the cool dew of Mount Hermon falling on the mountains of Zion.
This fourteenth 'Song of Ascents' was likely sung by families and tribes gathered on their pilgrimages to Jerusalem, celebrating the value of brotherly unity through two rich sensory images from ancient culture: the priestly anointing oil (used to consecrate Aaron as high priest in Exodus 29) and the abundant dew of Mount Hermon, a mountain north of Israel known for its generous moisture even on dry ground. The application for today is that genuine unity among people — family, community, church — is compared to something as precious and refreshing as sacred oil and life-giving dew.
