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. 13Then Moses presented Aaron’s sons, put tunics on them, wrapped sashes around them, and tied headbands on them, just as the LORD had commanded him.
James 5: 14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
When I was a volunteering chaplain at a veterans home with 120 rooms, our group of chaplains would (if permitted) pray over the sick and anoint them with oil. We used olive oil as the recipe in the Bible is forbidden to duplicate. I personally witnessed the Lord heal and extend the days of the sick.
Anointing the priests and kings was setting them apart for service to the Lord.
1 Samuel 16: 12So Jesse sent for his youngest son and brought him in. He was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, “Rise and anoint him, for he is the one.”
13So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from that day forward.
Do you know anyone that is sick? Pray over them and anoint them with oil!
Blessings, David
