Psalm 133

Psalm 133:3
It is like the dew of Hermon
Coming down upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the LORD commanded the blessing--life forever.
I guess this take some cultural context to understand properly.  My best guess at this is that being in unity is refreshing like the morning dew, which appears every morning to wipe away yesterday's damage.

I'm not sure what the bit in the last line is about.  God game many blessings from the Temple, but I am uncertain which one this is referring to.  Is having unity what results in life forever, or just that unity will mean the people as a nation endure?
