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.

The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels,.... Pans, shovels, basins, &c. and this altar particularly was sprinkled with it seven times, Lev 8:10, and the laver, and his foot; the laver of brass for the priests to wash their hands and feet in, and the foot or base of it on which it stood, see Exo 30:18.

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.
