Last part: Psalm 133
Moses and Aaron were brothers. And God told Moses to appoint Aaron to a special task. Aaron would become the first chief priest of Israel. And his family would always be Israel’s priests.
Moses could have felt jealous of Aaron. Or Moses could have felt anxious about his own authority. But Moses cared more about God’s relationship with Israel than Moses cared about himself. So Moses was very glad that Israel would have these priests. And during the ceremony to appoint Aaron, Moses showed his happiness.
God told Moses to put oil on Aaron’s head during the ceremony. Moses did not just use a little oil! Moses was so glad that he poured plenty of oil on Aaron. The oil ran down Aaron’s beard. It even went onto his special clothes!
Something similar to that was happening when the people from Israel gathered in Jerusalem. Whether people came from near or far, they *worshipped together. They came from many different families and places. But they were behaving as brothers who did not quarrel. They were making new friends. They were helping each other. They were showing real love and friendship for other people.
