( 1.) The act of anointing was significant of consecration to a holy or sacred use; hence the anointing of the high priest ( Ex. 29: 29; Lev. 4: 3) and of the sacred vessels ( Ex. 30: 26). The high priest and the king are thus called " the anointed" ( Lev. 4: 3, 5, 16; 6: 20; Ps. 132: 10). Anointing a king was equivalent to crowning him ( 1 Sam. 16: 13; 2 Sam. 2: 4, etc.). Prophets were also anointed ( 1 Kings 19: 16; 1 Chr. 16: 22; Ps. 105: 15). The expression, " anoint the shield" ( Isa. 21: 5), refers to the custom of rubbing oil on the leather of the shield so as to make it supple and fit for use in war. ( 2.) Anointing was also an act of hospitality ( Luke 7: 38, 46). It was the custom of the Jews in like manner to anoint themselves with oil, as a means of refreshing or invigorating their bodies ( Deut. 28: 40; Ruth 3: 3; 2 Sam. 14: 2; Ps. 104: 15, etc.). This custom is continued among the Arabians to the present day. ( 3.) Oil was used also for medicinal purposes. It was applied to the sick, and also to wounds ( Ps. 109: 18; Isa. 1: 6; Mark 6: 13; James 5: 14). ( 4.) The bodies of the dead were sometimes anointed ( Mark 14: 8; Luke 23: 56). ( 5.) The promised Deliverer is twice called the " Anointed" or Messiah ( Ps. 2: 2; Dan. 9: 25, 26), because he was anointed with the Holy Ghost ( Isa. 61: 1), figuratively styled the " oil of gladness" ( Ps. 45: 7; Heb. 1: 9). Jesus of Nazareth is this anointed One ( John 1: 41; Acts 9: 22; 17: 2, 3; 18: 5, 28), the Messiah of the Old Testament.
