And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
The verse directs that the specially prepared anointing oil of the Lord be applied to consecrate the tabernacle of the congregation and the ark of the testimony. That oil was sacred rather than common, so it was not to be poured upon ordinary persons and no imitation of it was to be compounded for ordinary use. The distinction between the sacred and the common in this matter was to be maintained by God's people throughout their generations.
