Summary

What was the purpose of anointing oil and how should we think about it today? In today’s episode, Emma Dotter discusses Exodus 38-40 and the significance of anointing oil as a symbol of holiness and a test of obedience. The anointing oil used in the Old Testament can serve as a tangible expression of faith in the lives of those who trust in God.

Additional Scripture Referenced:
Exodus 28:41 – “And you shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them and ordain them and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests.”
