What is the context?
The short song calls brothers living together good and pleasant. Oil running from Aaron’s head and beard and dew associated with Hermon and Zion picture the blessing.
The images give unity a shared and overflowing quality. The Lord’s blessing of life closes the song.
The praise of harmony does not require silence about wrongdoing or agreement with every claim. It celebrates life together under God rather than forced conformity for its own sake.
How is this passage commonly understood?
Wesley relates the oil to Aaron’s consecration and the dew to refreshing grace. His explanation of the garment’s edge should not be made into a new lexical definition without examining the relevant word.
Where does this fit in God's plan?
Ephesians 4:1–16 develops the wider theme of unity through one Spirit, Lord, faith, and body, with gifts that build toward maturity in Christ. Paul does not quote Psalm 133 in that section; the later ascent quotation comes from Psalm 68. The connection joins unity with truthful growth rather than requiring false peace.
