Esodo 30:29

29 Così consacrerai quelle cose, e saranno cose santissime; tutto quello che le toccherà sia sacro.

Esodo 30:29 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 30:29

And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy,
&c.] By anointing them, and so be set apart for sacred uses only; as by the grace of the Holy Spirit, the people of God, the vessels of mercy, are really sanctified, and made meet for the master's use; and therefore it is called the sanctification of the Spirit, which is true holiness, in opposition to typical or ceremonial holiness, here intended; and if this holy anointing oil made those things most holy that were anointed with it, how much more must the grace of the Spirit those who partake of it; and though it is at present imperfect, it will be perfected, and become complete holiness, without which no man can see the Lord:

whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy;
as is said of the most holy altar, (See Gill on Exodus 29:37). The Targum of Jonathan interprets it of persons that approach these holy places, and things so anointed and sanctified, paraphrasing the words thus;

``whosoever cometh unto them of the priests shall be holy, but of the rest of the tribes shall be burnt with flaming fire before the Lord.''
