Translation: The high-priestly oil was compounded of aromatics; but that [oil] did not emit any such good aroma of itself. The mixture and compound of all made the greatest possible good aroma. To this he has compared the harmony of brothers; for the joint contribution of more righteous deeds creates the good order[1] of perfect virtue.
