Use this oil to anoint the Tent of Meeting
on Exodus 30:26-29
The oil goes on the tent and every vessel before it goes on any man, so the place is set apart ahead of its priesthood. The result is graded, “so that they will be most holy,” and “Whatever touches them shall be holy”.

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.
