[35:25]  ¹ tn Heb “in it.”

[89:20]  ² tn The words “as king” are supplied in the translation for clarification, indicating that a royal anointing is in view.

[133:2]  ³ tn Heb “[it is] like the good oil on the head, going down on the beard.”

[133:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “which goes down in accordance with his measured things.” The Hebrew phrase מִדּוֹתָיו (middotayv, “his measured things”) refers here to the robes worn by Aaron. HALOT 546 s.v. *מַד derives the form from מַד (midah, “robe”) rather than מִדָּה (middah, “measured thing”). Ugaritic md means “robe” and is pluralized mdt.
