Israel dwelling together in unity
The people are now dwelling together in unity. It is as the
anointing of Aaron, which, poured on the head, gave the odours of
divine favour on all, as the abundant dew of the lofty hills, but
which brought, however high its source, its refreshing power where
God had ordained blessing and life for evermore.* I see no need to
seek for any mountain of a like name near Hermon, but the contrary.
{*This is one of the two places where life for evermore, life
eternal, is spoken of in the Old Testament; the other is Daniel 12;
both as accomplished in the time of blessing to come. In the New
Testament, I need not say, it is fully revealed in Christ, and he
that believes in Him has everlasting life.}
