Oil

Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes!

Oil is richness, in flavor,
Richness in wealth.
Oil is offering, the sweet savor that ascends.
Oil is healing, anointing for those who are sick.

But I had forgotten that oil
Also gives light,

And the picture of Aaron’s anointing,
Standing before God,
Covered in fragrance,
Covered in light

Indeed, behold how good and how pleasant it is
When brothers dwell in unity!
