And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
The vessels and furnishings of the tabernacle, once set apart by the sacred preparations of anointing, were made most holy. That consecration imparted holiness so fully that whatever came into contact with them became holy. The sacred was therefore never to be treated as common or handled on the level of ordinary things. This distinction between the holy and the common was to be strictly observed and carefully maintained.
