The olive oil was used for the lampstand, which provided light in the Holy Place. Olive oil, a staple in ancient Israel, was a symbol of purity and the Holy Spirit. The light from the lampstand represented God's presence and guidance. This imagery is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus is referred to as the "light of the world" (<a href="/john/8-12.htm">John 8:12</a>).<p><b>for the anointing oil</b><br>Anointing oil was used to consecrate the priests and the Tabernacle, setting them apart for God's service. The oil was a mixture of olive oil and specific spices, as detailed in <a href="/exodus/30-22.htm">Exodus 30:22-25</a>. Anointing signified being chosen and empowered by God, a practice seen throughout the Bible, including the anointing of kings like David (<a href="/1_samuel/16-13.htm">1 Samuel 16:13</a>). This foreshadows the anointing of Jesus as the Messiah, the "Anointed One."<p><b>and for the fragrant incense</b><br>Fragrant incense was burned on the altar of incense, located in the Holy Place before the veil separating it from the Most Holy Place. The incense, made from a specific blend of spices (<a href="/exodus/30-34.htm">Exodus 30:34-38</a>), symbolized the prayers of the people ascending to God (<a href="/psalms/141-2.htm">Psalm 141:2</a>, <a href="/revelation/8-3.htm">Revelation 8:3-4</a>). The use of incense in worship highlights the importance of prayer and intercession, with Christ as our ultimate intercessor (<a href="/hebrews/7-25.htm">Hebrews 7:25</a>).<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 conveyed God's instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God who were called to contribute materials for the Tabernacle.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable sanctuary where God would dwell among His people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/a/anointing_oil.htm">Anointing Oil</a></b><br>A sacred mixture used for consecrating the Tabernacle and its furnishings.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/f/fragrant_incense.htm">Fragrant Incense</a></b><br>A special blend used in worship, symbolizing prayers ascending to God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/s/sacred_contributions.htm">Sacred Contributions</a></b><br>The Israelites were called to give specific materials for the Tabernacle, reminding us of the importance of offering our best to God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_oil_and_incense.htm">Symbolism of Oil and Incense</a></b><br>The anointing oil and incense symbolize the presence and prayers of God's people, encouraging us to maintain a life of worship and prayer.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/holiness_in_worship.htm">Holiness in Worship</a></b><br>The detailed instructions for the Tabernacle's elements highlight the need for reverence and holiness in our worship practices.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_participation.htm">Community Participation</a></b><br>The construction of the Tabernacle required the involvement of the entire community, teaching us the value of collective effort in serving God's purposes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_light.htm">Spiritual Light</a></b><br>The oil for the light signifies the continuous presence of God, urging us to be vigilant in keeping our spiritual lamps burning brightly.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_exodus_35.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 35</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_foods_are_mentioned_in_the_bible.htm">What foods are mentioned in the Bible?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_are_anointing_spices_used_for.htm">What are anointing spices used for?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_is_misuse_of_anointing_oil_so_severe.htm">In Exodus 30:31-33, why would the penalty for misusing the anointing oil be so severe if it was simply a mix of available spices?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/bible's_view_on_quiverfull,_patriarchy.htm">What does the Bible say about Quiverfull and patriarchy?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/35.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(28) Spice.-See <a href="/context/exodus/30-23.htm" title="Take you also to you principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,">Exodus 30:23-24</a>;
