Leviticus 8:10

Anointing the Tabernacle and Aaron, and Clothing Aaron’s Sons

8:10 Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it, and so consecrated them. ¹ 

Leviticus 10:7

10:7 but you must not go out from the entrance of the Meeting Tent lest you die, for the Lord’s anointing oil is on you.” So they acted according to the word of Moses.

Leviticus 21:12

21:12 He must not go out from the sanctuary and must not profane ²  the sanctuary of his God, because the dedication of the anointing oil of his God is on him. I am the Lord.

[8:10]  ¹ sn The expression “and consecrated it” refers to the effect of the anointing earlier in the verse (cf. “to consecrate them/him” in vv. 11 and 12). “To consecrate” means “to make holy” or “make sacred”; i.e., put something into the category of holy/sacred as opposed to common/profane (see Lev 10:10 below). Thus, the person or thing consecrated is put into the realm of God’s holy things.

[21:12]  ² sn Regarding “profane,” see the note on Lev 10:10 above.
