The Anointing Oil

²⁵Prepare from these a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer; it will be a sacred anointing oil.²⁶Use this oil to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony,²⁷the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the altar of incense,

Summary

This verse instructs Moses to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Covenant, the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand, consecrating them to be most holy. The anointing oil symbolizes the setting apart of these items for sacred use in worship and service to God, signifying their sanctification and dedication to the Lord. This act of anointing represents the separation of these objects from common use to be exclusively devoted to the divine purpose within the tabernacle.

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

(see at Lev 8:10.). This anointing oil was holy, either because it was made from the four fragrant substances according to the proportions commanded by Jehovah, or because God declared this kind of mixture and preparation holy (cf. Exo 30:32), and forbade for all time, on pain of death (Exo 30:31), not only the use of ointment so prepared for any ordinary anointings, but even an imitation of it. "Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured," i.e., it is not to be used for the ordinary practice of anointing the human body (Exo 30:32). "Man," i.e., the ordinary man in distinction from the priests. בּמתכּנתּו according to its measure, i.e., according to the proportions prescribed for its manufacture. זר (Exo 30:33) a stranger, is not only the non-Israelite, but laymen or non-priests in general. On the expression, "cut off from his people," see at Gen 17:14.
