The dew of Hermon.
Mount Sirion (that is, Hermon).—There the Lord has commanded the blessing, life forevermore.—I will be like the dew to Israel; he shall blossom like the lily; he shall take root like the trees of Lebanon.
“May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass, and like showers upon the herb.”—“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” [God] gives the Spirit without measure.—And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.—It is like the precious oil on the head… on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes!Ps. 133:3; Deut. 4:48; Ps. 133:3; Hos. 14:5; Deut. 32:2; Isa. 55:10, 11; John 3:34; John 1:16; Ps. 133:2
