anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith
on Exodus 30:26-29
The oil goes on the tent and on every vessel in it before it goes on any man, so the place is set apart ahead of the priesthood that will work there. The result is stated as a graded thing, that they may be most holy, and that whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy. Haggai 2:11-13 puts the matching question to the priests, whether holiness carries by contact the way uncleanness does, and the answer given there is that it does not.

Take thou also . . . principal spices, &c.--Oil is frequently mentioned in Scripture as an emblem of sanctification, and anointing with it a means of designating objects as well as persons to the service of God.
