Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is "χρίω" (chriō - Strong's 5548), which also means to anoint. This term is foundational for the title "Christ" (Christos), meaning "Anointed One."

Usage: The Hebrew verb "suwk" primarily means to anoint or to pour over, often with oil. It is used in the context of anointing individuals, typically for a special purpose or office, such as a king or priest. The act of anointing signifies consecration, setting apart, or sanctification for a divine purpose.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, anointing with oil was a significant ritual act. It symbolized the impartation of the Holy Spirit, divine blessing, and empowerment for service. Anointing was a common practice for kings, priests, and sometimes prophets, marking them as chosen by God for their respective roles. The oil used in anointing was often a special blend, signifying purity and holiness.
