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;/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."
Blessings come down from the greater to the lesser. The dew descending from Hermon and of Zion are from God so the names are interchangeable. The former meaning 'devoted mountain' was formerly a site of sanctuary of Baal and is situated at the northern boundary of Israel. The name Hermon was called Sarion (Sirion) by the Sidonians (Phoenicians). (29:6) The mountains of Zion refer to the Father Son relationship. God laid the foundation stone in Zion (Is.28:16) which explains the entity from which the law shall go forth. It points to eternity. "And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."(Is.2:3) Zion refers to Christ the stone cut not with hands and his everlasting kingdom shall be established."And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed."(Dan.2:45).
The blessings that pour down 'the skirts of his garments' is qualified as the Light of the Lamb. "And the Lamb is the light thereof./And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it."(Re.21:23-24)
The breastplate of Aaron's garment for glory and beauty are established in mid-air, "And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb."(21:14) The saints in the city of God dwell in amity. It is like ointment, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! " and passing down blessings below.
