9Moses also put the turban on Aaron’s head and set the gold plate, the holy diadem, on the front of the turban, as the LORD had commanded him.
10Next, Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it; and so he consecrated them.
11He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times, anointing the altar and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand, to consecrate them. 12He also poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him.Cross References

Leviticus 8:10 Summary
In Leviticus 8:10, Moses takes the anointing oil and uses it to consecrate the tabernacle and everything in it, setting them apart for God's use. This act of anointing represents the Holy Spirit's presence and power, and reminds us that we are also set apart for God's purposes (1 Corinthians 3:16-17). Just as the tabernacle was dedicated to God's service, we are called to live lives that honor and glorify Him, trusting in His sovereignty and wisdom (Romans 11:33-36). By following God's commands and trusting in His plans, we can be like Moses, demonstrating obedience and faith in our daily lives.
Frequently Asked Questions

How does this act of anointing relate to our lives as believers?
Just as the anointing oil set apart the tabernacle and its contents for God's service, we are also set apart for God's purposes through the Holy Spirit, as seen in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 and 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, and are called to live lives that honor and glorify Him.
What can we learn from Moses' obedience in anointing the tabernacle?
Moses' obedience demonstrates the importance of following God's instructions and commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Joshua 1:7-8, and trusting in His sovereignty and wisdom, even when we do not fully understand the reasons behind them, as exemplified in Romans 11:33-36.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 8:10
And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 8:10
(10) And Moses took the anointing oil.—Having invested the high priest with the visible emblems of his office and holiness, Moses now, in accordance with the directions given in Exodus 30:26-30; Exodus 40:9-11, first anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein—that is, the ark of the covenant, the altar of incense, the candlestick, the table of shewbread, with all the utensils belonging unto them. For the ingredients of this oil, which is also called “oil of holy ointment” (Exodus 30:25), see Exodus 30:23-25. And sanctified them.—That is, by this unction Moses separated them from the laity, and dedicated them to the service of God, so that they were not to come in contact with any defilement. (See Exodus 29:37; Exodus 30:29-30.)
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 8:10
10–12. (c) anointing. The first definite variation from Exodus 29 is found in these verses. Exodus 29:7 contains the command: ‘Then shall thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.’ To this correspond the opening words of Lev 8:10, ‘And Moses took the anointing oil …’ and Leviticus 8:12, ‘And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him.’ The clauses of Lev 8:10-11 which intervene, record the anointing of the tabernacle, the altar, and the laver, in words closely parallel to those of Exo 40:9-11. Other passages which refer to the ceremony of anointing are: Exodus 29:7 (referring to Aaron only), Exodus 29:36 (to the altar), Exodus 30:26-29 (a full list of things to be anointed) and Exodus 40:9-11 (a shorter list). It will be seen that the verbal coincidences in Leviticus 8:10-12 are with Exodus 29:7; Exodus 40:9-11. But it should be noticed that whereas in Exodus 40:12-15 mention is made of anointing Aaron’s sons as well as Aaron himself, there is no account of such a ceremony in Leviticus 8.
Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 8:10
Moses first anointed with the holy oil Exodus 30:25 the tabernacle and all therein, that is, the ark of the covenant, the table of showbread, the candlestick and the golden altar, with all the articles that belonged to them.
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 8:10
10. Anointed… sanctified — The first verb is the act of setting apart, the second expresses the state of objects thus set apart or consecrated to a religious use.
