From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

It is like the precious ointment upon the head -That is, which was poured upon the head of the high priest, when consecrated to the holy office. The Hebrew is, “the good ointment.” For a description of the ointment which was used in the consecration of the high priest, and the holy things of the sanctuary, seeExodus 30:22-30.
