Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5545 (χρίσμα, chrisma): Refers to anointing or the anointing oil, used in the New Testament to describe the anointing of believers by the Holy Spirit (1 John 2:20, 27). Usage: The term "mishchah" refers to the act of anointing or the substance used for anointing, typically oil. In the Hebrew Bible, anointing with oil is a significant ritual act symbolizing consecration, sanctification, and the setting apart of individuals or objects for a holy purpose. It is often associated with the anointing of priests, kings, and sacred objects. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, anointing with oil was a common practice for consecrating priests (Exodus 28:41), kings (1 Samuel 10:1), and prophets. The anointing oil was a special blend of olive oil and spices, as described in Exodus 30:22-25. This oil was considered sacred, and its use was restricted to specific religious functions. Anointing signified the presence and favor of God, marking the anointed as chosen and empowered for a divine task.
