Anointing Aaron as the high priest
What Does Exodus 29:7 Mean?
The anointing oil, which has been specially prepared according to God's formula, is poured upon Aaron's head. This anointing symbolizes the bestowal of God's Spirit and the setting apart of the priesthood.
Anointing in Scripture frequently marks the beginning of divine commission—anointed kings, prophets, and priests receive God's empowerment for their callings.
