However, the concept of rubbing, in the sense of anointing or applying oil, is present in various biblical contexts. The act of rubbing or anointing with oil is often associated with consecration, healing, and hospitality in the biblical narrative.<br><br><b>Biblical Context:</b><br><br>1. <b>Anointing and Consecration:</b><br> In the Old Testament, the act of anointing with oil is a significant ritual. It involves rubbing or pouring oil on individuals or objects to set them apart for a holy purpose. This is seen in the anointing of priests, kings, and sacred objects. For example, Aaron and his sons were anointed to serve as priests (<a href="/exodus/28-41.htm">Exodus 28:41</a>: "After you put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint and ordain them. Consecrate them so they may serve Me as priests.").<br><br>2. <b>Healing:</b><br> The New Testament references the use of oil in the context of healing. <a href="/james/5-14.htm">James 5:14</a> states, "Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord." Here, the act of anointing, which involves rubbing oil, is associated with prayer and divine healing.<br><br>3. <b>Hospitality:</b><br> In biblical times, anointing with oil was also a gesture of hospitality and honor. In <a href="/luke/7-46.htm">Luke 7:46</a> , Jesus rebukes a Pharisee by saying, "You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume." This highlights the cultural practice of anointing guests as a sign of respect and welcome.<br><br><b>Symbolic Significance:</b><br><br>· <b>Holy Spirit:</b><br> The act of anointing with oil, which involves rubbing, is often symbolic of the Holy Spirit's presence and empowerment. In <a href="/1_samuel/16-13.htm">1 Samuel 16:13</a> , when Samuel anoints David, "the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon David from that day forward." This signifies the divine selection and empowerment for service.<br><br>· <b>Purity and Cleansing:</b><br> Rubbing with oil can also symbolize purification and preparation. In the purification rituals described in Leviticus, oil is used as part of the cleansing process for lepers (<a href="/leviticus/14-17.htm">Leviticus 14:17</a>: "The priest shall put some of the oil remaining in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on top of the blood of the guilt offering.").<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Insights:</b><br><br>· <b>Ancient Practices:</b><br> In ancient Near Eastern cultures, anointing with oil was a common practice for both religious and secular purposes. It was used in rituals, as a cosmetic, and for medicinal purposes. The act of rubbing oil was believed to confer strength, beauty, and health.<br><br>· <b>Symbol of Joy and Gladness:</b><br> Oil, when used in anointing, is also a symbol of joy and gladness. <a href="/psalms/23-5.htm">Psalm 23:5</a> reflects this sentiment: "You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." This imagery conveys abundance, blessing, and divine favor.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br>While the specific term "rub" is not a focal point in biblical texts, the associated actions and symbolism of rubbing, particularly in the context of anointing with oil, carry profound spiritual and cultural significance throughout the Scriptures.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
