And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
Thou shalt take the anointing oil ... The oil was emblematic of the Holy Spirit; and this formal consecration of the tabernacle and its furniture, by sprinkling them with this sacred unguent, was symbolical of the communication of the Holy Spirit to the Church (see the note at Exodus 30:26).
