2 Like the precious oil upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, upon Aaron's beard, that ran down to the hem of his garments;
And he poured of the anointing oil on Aaron's head, and anointed him, to hallow him.
and shalt take the anointing oil, and pour [it] on his head, and anoint him.
and make of it an oil of holy ointment, a perfume of perfumery after the work of the perfumer: it shall be the holy anointing oil. And thou shalt anoint the tent of meeting with it, and the ark of the testimony, and the table and all its utensils, and the lamp-stand and its utensils, and the altar of incense, and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand. And thou shalt hallow them, that they may be most holy: whatever toucheth them shall be holy. And Aaron and his sons thou shalt anoint, and shalt hallow them, that they may serve me as priests.
And they made on the skirts of the cloak pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet, twined.

Thine ointments savour sweetly; Thy name is an ointment poured forth: Therefore do the virgins love thee.
