Sinopsis
It was used for consecration and dedication. When Jacob wanted to hallow the stone at Bethel he poured oil on it (G en. xxviii. 18). When Moses dedicated A aron to the service of God he poured oil on his head and anointed him (L ev. viii. 12, cf. also Exod. xxix). The Tabernacle and all that was in it was consecrated by being anointed with oil (L ev. viii. 10, n). Lev. x. 7, Moses says to A aron and his sons: And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of theL ord is upon you. At the cleansing of the leper, too, oil was used. Four verses deal with the use of the oil for that purpose (L ev. xiv. 15-18 ;cf. also w. 26-9). Every action mentioned in those verses no doubt had its significance. Samuel, when selecting Saul for the kingship, pours oil on his head (i Sam. x. i). When David was chosen byS amuel to succeedS aul he was anointed with oil byS amuel (i Sam. xvi. 13). And so were the later kings anointed with oil, see especially i Kings i; cf. alsoP s. xlv. 8. In A ssyria, too, memorial stones and tablets were anointed with oil. So Tiglath-P ileser I (end of twelfth century B.C.E.) says :naru PI- sd Samsi% Ramman a-biia Samne ap-sti-us, the memorial stones of my ancestor amsi-B amman I have anointed with oil (col. viii, 47- 48). See, for more references, Delitzsch, A ssyrisches Handworterbuch, p. 550. In Egypt and Greece also oil was used for dedication; see Hastings, Dictionary of theB ible, Vol. I, p. 101. Oil also played a role in magic. We know this from A ssyro-B abylonian magical texts.
