Exodus 30:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 30:22

20 When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die.

21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And ^ait shall be a statute forever to them—to him and his descendants throughout their generations.”

The Holy Anointing Oil

22 Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

23 “Also take for yourself ^aquality spices—five hundred shekels of liquid ^bmyrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling ^ccane,

24 five hundred shekels of ^acassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a ^bhin of olive oil.

25 And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be ^aa holy anointing oil.

26 ^aWith it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony;

Exodus 30:22-24

First, there does not seem to be a requirement for the quality of the oil within these verses. The mention is only for a hin of olive oil, with the focus being more on the quality of the spices. Next, it does not really state where this olive oil comes from either, but for the oil for the Tabernacle lamp it was commanded as the responsibility of the children of Israel to bring. So considering these aspects, we could see that there is potentially a different symbolism for anointing oil and the oil for the light.
