Exodus 30:26-30

30:26 “With it you are to anoint the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, 30:27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the altar of incense, 30:28 the altar for the burnt offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its base. 30:29 So you are to sanctify them, ¹  and they will be most holy; ²  anything that touches them will be holy. ³ 

30:30 “You are to anoint Aaron and his sons and ⁴  sanctify them, so that they may minister as my priests.

[30:29]  ¹ tn The verb is a Piel perfect with vav (ו) consecutive; in this verse it is summarizing or explaining what the anointing has accomplished. This is the effect of the anointing (see Exod 29:36).

[30:29]  ² tn This is the superlative genitive again, Heb “holy of holies.”

[30:29]  ³ tn See Exod 29:37; as before, this could refer to anything or anyone touching the sanctified items.

[30:30]  ¹ tn The perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive follows the imperfect of instruction; it may be equal to the instruction, but more likely shows the purpose or result of the act.
