Exodus 30:26 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 30:26

And thou shall anoint the tabernacle of the congregation
therewith
It cannot be thought the whole of it should be anointed all over, but only a part of it for the whole; and this was either typical of the human nature of Christ, the true tabernacle God pitched, and not man, and which was anointed with the Holy Ghost; or of the church and people of God, who are an holy tabernacle or temple of the Lord, and who receive the unction from the Holy One:

and the ark of the testimony;
the chest where the law was, and stood in the most holy place of the tabernacle; and was a type of the Messiah, the anointed One, in whose heart the law was, and who is the fulfilling end of it for righteousness.

Exodus 30:26 In-Context

24 five hundred of cassia—measured by the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil.
25 Prepare a holy anointing oil, blending them like a skilled perfume maker to produce the holy anointing oil.
26 Use it to anoint the meeting tent, the chest containing the covenant,
27 the table and all its equipment, the lampstand and its equipment, the incense altar,
28 the altar for entirely burned offerings and all its equipment, and the washbasin with its stand.
