The Oil of Ointment v. 22. Moreover, the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, v. 23. Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels (about fifteen pounds), and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, v. 24. and of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuary, the standard of weight among the children of Israel at that time, and of oil olive an hin, a little more than a... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 30:22-38

the Anointing Oil and the Incense Exodus 30:22-38 The anointing oil was extremely rich and costly. Pure myrrh; sweet cinnamon, imported probably from Sumatra or China; sweet calamus, the product of India or Mesopotamia; cassia, from Java, were the principal ingredients. Such a combination must have produced a delightful fragrance! The use of this oil was restricted to the holy service of the Tabernacle, and reminds us of “the unction of the Holy One”- i.e ., the anointing by the Holy... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 30:1-38

We may come to the description of the altar of incense. It is significant that in the earlier description of the Holy Place, with its furnishing, this altar was not named. It was specifically the altar of priesthood, instructions concerning which were not given until the priest was prepared for service. It completes and crowns the symbolism of the Holy Place. The table of shewbread represented communion with God, the lampstand spoke of testimony to the world, and now the golden altar speaks of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 30:22-33

The Anointing Of All That Has Been Provided For The Dwellingplace (Exodus 30:22-33 ). The furnishing of the Dwellingplace now being complete it is to be anointed so as to set it apart wholly to Yahweh. We note here that the golden altar and the laver are now included, in a different order from that shown previously, as the order is now from the Most Holy Place, through the Holy Place, to the court. Previously the order had been in order to take into account purpose and function. a The... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 30:1-38

Exodus 30-31. P s . Priestly Supplements.— These two chapters form an appendix to Exodus 25-29. The golden incense altar finds no place in Exodus 25 or Exodus 26:33-Zephaniah : or Leviticus 16 (where the annual rite of Exodus 30:10 is ignored). Instead we hear of censers in Leviticus 16:12 and Numbers 16:6 f., while the great altar in the court is called “ the altar,” as if no other were recognised. Similarly Exodus 30:30, requiring the unction of Aaron’ s sons, betrays itself as later than... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 30:26-30

ILLUSTRATIONSBYREV. WILLIAM ADAMSONAnointing-Oil Symbolism! Exodus 30:26-30. (1.) All parts of the Mosaic worship were symbolic; and all those parts were symbolic of Christ. They all silently spoke of One beyond and behind, above and around them. Moreover, the most explicit directions were given for their anointing. The altars and the sacred furniture, as well as the priests and the high priest, were to be most carefully anointed. But the unction seems to have been most special in the case of... read more

DISCOURSE: 103THE ANOINTING OILExodus 30:25-31. Thou shalt make an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony, and the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense, and the altar of burnt-offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot. And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 30:1-38

And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of acacia wood shalt thou make it. It's to be eighteen by eighteen, and forty-five inches high ( Exodus 30:1 ).This is a little altar that was set in the holy place, before the veil that separated the holy place from the Holy of Holies.Overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides round about, and the horns thereof; [So it's a little altar only of gold, and it's to burn incense, a sweet smelling savour again before God.] And the... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 30:1-38

Exodus 30:6. Before the veil. This altar, formed like the ark, of the incorruptible wood covered over with pure gold, represented the Son of God in human nature; and the incense typified his intercession. The former was placed within the sanctuary, the latter in the court without; for his sacrifice was offered on earth, his intercession is in heaven. But it was not fixed within the most holy place; because the continual intercession of Christ was to be represented by the daily burning of... read more
