The Bible often uses the term <i>holy <\/i>(meaning \u201cset-apart\u201d) to signify this state of being. The word of Elohim designate many things as <i>set-apart<\/i>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The ground upon which YHVH is standing (Exod 3:5; Josh 5:15)<\/li>\n<li>The people of Israel (Exod 19:6; Deut 14:21; 26:19)<\/li>\n<li>The Sabbath (Exod 16:23; 20:8)<\/li>\n<li>The Tabernacle of Moses (Exod 26:33)<\/li>\n<li>The garments worn by the high priest (Exod 28:2)<\/li>\n<li>The altar of sacrifice (Exod 40:10)<\/li>\n<li>The offerings made on the altar (Lev 6:18)<\/li>\n<li>YHVH\u2019s feast days (Lev 23:2)<\/li>\n<li>The camp of Israel (Deut 23:14)<\/li>\n<li>Heaven as the abode of Elohim (Deut 26:15)<\/li>\n<li>YHVH Elohim (Job 6:10; Pss 22:3; 78:4; 99:5)<\/li>\n<li>Zion and Jerusalem (Ps 2:6; Matt 27:53; Rev 22:19)<\/li>\n<li>The Spirit of Elohim (Matt 1:20)<\/li>\n<li>The angels (Matt 25:31)<\/li>\n<li>The servants of Elohim (Mark 6:20)<\/li>\n<li>The name of YHVH (Luke 1:49)<\/li>\n<li>Yeshua (Acts 2:27; 3:14)<\/li>\n<li>YHVH\u2019s prophets (Acts 3:21)<\/li>\n<li>The saints (1 Pet 2:9; Rev 22:11)<\/li>\n<li>The Torah (2 Pet 3:21)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>YHVH\u2019s people are to learn to make a difference between that which he designates as being <i>kadash<\/i> (holy) and<i> <\/i>that which is <i>profane<\/i> (Lev 10:10). In order to do this, one must know what YHVH defines as set-apart and then align our thinking and lifestyle with that.<\/p>\n<p>The act of consecrating someone (or something, e.g. Exod 30:26) as occurs in Leviticus 8:12 often involves the ritual of pouring olive oil on them to signify their being set-apart for a special work or service. This is called <i>anointing <\/i>(see Exod 28:41; 29:7; 1 Sam 16:12; 1 Kgs 1:34; Isa 61:1; 2 Cor 1:21).<\/p>\n<p>Yeshua\u2019s title is <i>Messiah <\/i>(Heb. <i>Mashiach<\/i>) literally meaning, \u201cone who is anointed, smeared or consecrated with (olive) oil.\u201d The English word <i>Christ<\/i> derives from the Greek word <i>Christos<\/i>, which is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word <i>mashhiach.<\/i> In Biblical thought, the Messiah would be One coming from heaven who would possess a super-anointing of the Spirit of Elohim (Isa 11:1\u201310; 42:1\u201321; 61:1\u20133; John 3:34) to accomplish the purposes of Elohim on earth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leviticus 8:23,<i> Right ear. <\/i><\/strong>(also Exod 29:29) According to the Jewish sages, the putting of the blood on the right ear, thumb and toe of the priest signified the priest\u2019s covenantal agreement to conform himself to the high spiritual calling to which YHVH had appointed him. He agreed to hear and understand, achieve or act and to walk in the ways of Elohim as a spiritual leader of YHVH\u2019s people.<\/p>\n<p>The sages also stress that blood of the sacrificed animal placed on the priest\u2019s ear, thumb and toe symbolizes the death and giving up of that which is profane in the priest\u2019s life and his spiritual rebirth or revival to the set-apart (holy) work and service of YHVH. This ceremony pictures self-surrender and giving oneself up at the altar of YHVH\u2019s service. This is the greater issue behind the concept of sanctification.<\/p>\n<p>Sanctification is more than a label; it\u2019s a lifestyle characterized by service and obedience to one\u2019s spiritual master. This points forward to the purpose of the spiritually regenerated redeemed believe who becomes a new creation in Messiah (2 Cor 5:17; Gal 2:20) and who is no longer his own, since he has been bought and paid for by Yeshua\u2019s blood (1 Cor 6:20; 1 Pet 1:18\u201319).<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Are You Smeared in Oil, Dipped in Blood?',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2014\/03\/15\/smeared-in-oil-dipped-in-blood\/',contentID: 'post-4508',suggestTags: 'Blood,Consecration,Exodus,Holiness,Leviticus,Oil,Priests',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leviticus 8:12, Anointing oil \u2026 consecrates [Heb. kadash].
