Mine head with oil, &c.— The reader will observe the beautiful and elegant contrast in this verse, between common oil and precious ointment, as well as between anointing the head and anointing the feet; and indeed the same kind of contrast is observed in the two preceding verses. How common this circumstance of anointing, &c. was, will appear on referring to Deuteronomy 28:40. Micah 6:15.Psalms 23:5; Psalms 104:15; Psalms 141:5.
