Exodus 40
1. The tabernacle is commanded to be reared, anointed, and consecrated
13. Aaron and his sons to be sanctified
16. Moses performs all things accordingly
34. A cloud covers the tabernacle














Anoint
The act of anointing in the Hebrew context, derived from the root word "mashach," signifies a setting apart for a holy purpose. Anointing was a common practice in ancient Israel, symbolizing the impartation of God's Spirit and blessing. In this verse, the anointing of the basin signifies its dedication to God's service, emphasizing the sacredness of even the most utilitarian objects in the tabernacle. This act reminds believers of the importance of dedicating every aspect of life to God, recognizing His sovereignty over all things.

the basin
The basin, or "kiyyor" in Hebrew, was a critical component of the tabernacle, used by the priests for ceremonial washing. This washing was a physical act representing spiritual purification, necessary before approaching God. The basin's presence underscores the necessity of purity and cleanliness in worship, a theme that resonates throughout Scripture. It serves as a reminder of the need for spiritual cleansing through repentance and the grace of God, which is ultimately fulfilled in the New Testament through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

and its stand
The stand, or "ken" in Hebrew, provided stability and support for the basin. This detail, though seemingly minor, highlights the importance of structure and order in the worship of God. The stand's inclusion in the anointing process signifies that every part of the tabernacle, no matter how small, was integral to the whole. It reflects the biblical principle that every member of the body of Christ has a role to play, and each part is essential for the functioning of the church.

and consecrate them
To consecrate, from the Hebrew "qadash," means to set apart as holy. This act of consecration was not merely ceremonial but was a declaration of the basin and its stand's exclusive use for God's purposes. In a broader sense, this consecration is a call to holiness for all believers, urging them to live lives set apart for God's glory. It is a reminder that God desires His people to be distinct from the world, dedicated to His service, and reflective of His holiness in every aspect of their lives.
