Commentary

This site's exposition

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”.

The record, by era

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.
