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 odors of divine favor 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 forevermore.1 I see no need to seek for any mountain of a like name near Hermon, but the contrary.
(1. This is one of the two places where life forevermore, 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. )
