A Picture of Sanctification
Commentators explain that anointing the tabernacle items with special oil 'sanctified' them, meaning they were set apart exclusively for God's use. This physical act serves as a powerful illustration of spiritual sanctification, where the Holy Spirit makes believers holy and fit for God's purposes. Just as the oil made objects 'most holy,' God's grace works to perfect believers.
