In biblical times, it was a valuable commodity, often used in anointing oils and perfumes. The use of 500 shekels indicates a significant quantity, emphasizing the importance and sacredness of the anointing oil. Cassia's inclusion in the holy anointing oil symbolizes purity and dedication, as it was used in the consecration of priests and sacred objects. The large amount reflects the abundance and richness of God's provision and the lavishness of worship due to Him.<p><b>all according to the sanctuary shekel</b><br>The sanctuary shekel was a standard unit of weight used in the tabernacle and later the temple. It ensured consistency and fairness in religious and economic transactions. The specification "according to the sanctuary shekel" underscores the importance of precision and adherence to divine instructions in worship practices. This standardization reflects God's order and justice, ensuring that offerings and sacred items met His exact requirements. It also highlights the integrity expected in dealings related to worship and service to God.<p><b>and a hin of olive oil</b><br>A hin is an ancient unit of liquid measure, approximately equivalent to about 3.5 liters or 0.9 gallons. Olive oil was a staple in the ancient Near East, used for cooking, lighting, and religious rituals. In the context of the anointing oil, olive oil serves as the base, symbolizing the Holy Spirit's presence and anointing. The use of olive oil in anointing signifies consecration, healing, and the Spirit's empowerment. It points to the anointing of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, whose title means "Anointed One," and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who received the instructions for the anointing oil from God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable dwelling place for the divine presence among the Israelites, where the anointing oil was used.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/anointing_oil.htm">Anointing Oil</a></b><br>A sacred mixture used to consecrate the Tabernacle and its furnishings, as well as the priests.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/c/cassia.htm">Cassia</a></b><br>A fragrant spice used in the anointing oil, symbolizing purity and holiness.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/o/olive_oil.htm">Olive Oil</a></b><br>A base for the anointing oil, representing the Holy Spirit and divine blessing.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_ingredients.htm">Symbolism of Ingredients</a></b><br>Each component of the anointing oil has symbolic meaning, pointing to purity, holiness, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
