The chapter highlights the contrast between human striving and the faithfulness of God.

{It is} like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, {even} Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

As the dew of Hermon, {and as the dew} that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, {even} life for evermore.
