Summary:Instead of reading this psalm as expressing a merely sentimental ideal of sibling harmony, this article shows how a cohesive reading of the more difficult middle section can illuminate a way through the tensions of sibling rivalry and betrayal. Here the central images are taken to evoke the parallel relationships between brother mountains (Hermon and Zion) and the brothers involved in priestly anointing (Moses, the missing but implied brother, and Aaron).
