Anoint Aaron and his sons
on Exodus 30:30-33
Aaron and his sons are anointed last, after the tent and its furniture. The oil is kept from any “ordinary man” and from any copy, with being “cut off from his people” the penalty.

Whosoever compoundeth any like it,....
It is a great affront to God to jest with sacred things, particularly to make sport with the word and ordinances of God, or to treat them with lightness, Matt. xxii. That which is God's peculiar must not be used as a common thing.

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.
