It is a concept that underscores God's sovereign will and purpose in the unfolding of His divine plan. Old Testament Usage In the Old Testament, the concept of ordination is frequently associated with the consecration of priests and the establishment of religious practices. For instance, Aaron and his sons were ordained as priests to serve in the tabernacle, as described in <a href="/bsb/exodus/28.htm">Exodus 28-29</a>. The ordination process involved anointing, sacrifices, and the wearing of specific garments, signifying their set-apart status for holy service. <a href="/leviticus/8-10.htm">Leviticus 8:10-12</a> states, "Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it, and so consecrated them. He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times, anointing the altar and all its utensils, as well as the basin and its stand, to consecrate them. He also poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him." The term is also used in a broader sense to describe God's sovereign actions in history. For example, <a href="/psalms/8-3.htm">Psalm 8:3</a> declares, "When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place," illustrating God's ordination of the cosmos. New Testament Usage In the New Testament, ordination continues to be an important concept, particularly in the context of church leadership and the spread of the Gospel. Jesus Christ Himself ordained the apostles, commissioning them to preach and teach. <a href="/mark/3-14.htm">Mark 3:14</a> notes, "He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles, to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach." The early church also practiced ordination as a means of setting apart individuals for specific roles within the church. <a href="/acts/14-23.htm">Acts 14:23</a> describes how Paul and Barnabas "appointed elders for them in each church, and with prayer and fasting, they committed them to the Lord, in whom they had believed." This practice underscores the importance of spiritual leadership and the continuation of apostolic teaching. Theological Implications Theologically, ordination is seen as an acknowledgment of God's calling and gifting of individuals for specific roles within His kingdom. It is both a divine act and a communal recognition of God's work in a person's life. <a href="/ephesians/2-10.htm">Ephesians 2:10</a> reflects this understanding: "For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life." Ordination also implies a responsibility to adhere to the teachings and example of Christ, as well as to shepherd the flock with integrity and faithfulness. <a href="/1_timothy/4-14.htm">1 Timothy 4:14</a> advises, "Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given you through prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you." Conclusion While the Bible does not provide a detailed liturgy for ordination, the practice is deeply rooted in biblical principles of calling, consecration, and service. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereign authority and the responsibility of those who are set apart for His purposes.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Ordain.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1096.htm">1096. ginomai -- to come into being, to happen, to become</a> ... be divided, draw, be ended, fall, be finished, follow, be found, be fulfilled, + God forbid, grow, happen, have, be kept, be made, be married, be ordained to be ... //strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1096.htm - 15k<a href="/greek/1299.htm">1299. diatasso -- to arrange thoroughly, ie to charge, appoint</a> ... appoint NASB Word Usage arrange (1), arranged (1), commanded (3), direct (1), directed (4), gave orders (2), giving instructions (1), ordained (1), ordered (1 ... //strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1299.htm - 8k<a href="/greek/1296.htm">1296. diatage -- institution, ordinance</a> ...
