Unity of the brethern is pictured as being precious as the oil of priestly consecration and as refreshing as the early mountain dew. Psalms 133:2 The oil would have also run down onto the breast plate where the names of the 12 tribes were inscribed, futher signifying the unity of the nations. (Exodus 29:7) Then shalt thou take the anointing oil and pour it upon his head and anoint him (Exodus 30:22-33) Talkes about the holy oil which is a perfumed oil made from about 50 lbs of dried spices and mixed with 1 gal of olive oil. This was used exclusively for the prescribed consecrations of the Tabernacle and its furnishings and of the priest.
