Psalm 133:2

New English Translation

²It is like fine oil poured on the head,
which flows down the beard^[a]—
Aaron’s beard,
and then flows down his garments.^[b]

Psalm 133:2 tn Heb “[it is] like the good oil on the head, going down on the beard.”
Psalm 133:2 tn Heb “which goes down in accordance with his measured things.” The Hebrew phrase מִדּוֹתָיו (middotayv, “his measured things”) refers here to the robes worn by Aaron. HALOT 546 s.v. *מַד derives the term from מַד (mad, “robe”) rather than מִדָּה (middah, “measured thing”). Ugaritic md means “robe” and is pluralized mdt.
