The anointing oil, as described in <a href="/exodus/30-22.htm">Exodus 30:22-33</a>, was a unique blend of spices and olive oil, signifying the Holy Spirit's presence and empowerment. The fragrant incense, detailed in <a href="/exodus/30-34.htm">Exodus 30:34-38</a>, was burned on the altar of incense, representing 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 Holy Place, part of the Tabernacle, was where the priests performed their duties, and these elements underscored the holiness required in approaching God.<p><b>They are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.”</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the importance of obedience to God's specific instructions. The detailed commands given to Moses for the construction and furnishing of the Tabernacle (Exodus 25-31) highlight the necessity of following divine guidance precisely. This obedience reflects a broader biblical principle seen throughout Scripture, where adherence to God's commands leads to blessing and fulfillment of His purposes (<a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28:1-14</a>). The meticulous crafting of these items also points to the care and reverence required in worship, foreshadowing the perfect obedience of Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law and the prophets (<a href="/matthew/5-17.htm">Matthew 5:17</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 received the commandments and instructions from God on Mount Sinai.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/b/bezalel_and_oholiab.htm">Bezalel and Oholiab</a></b><br>Skilled artisans chosen by God to oversee the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings, including the anointing oil and incense.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable sanctuary where God dwelled among the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness.<br><br>4. <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>5. <b><a href="/topical/f/fragrant_incense.htm">Fragrant Incense</a></b><br>A special blend of spices burned in the Holy Place as an offering to God, symbolizing prayers ascending to Him.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_commands.htm">Obedience to God's Commands</a></b><br>The precise instructions for making the anointing oil and incense underscore the importance of obedience in worship.
