Leviticus 8:10 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:10

And Moses took the anointing oil
Which Bezaleel had made, according to the directions which Moses had given him, and he had received from the Lord: this Moses brought with him to the door of the tabernacle, as he was ordered, ( Leviticus 8:2-3 ) and now he took it and made use of it as follows:

and anointed the tabernacle and all that [was] therein;
the altar of incense, the candlestick, and table of shewbread:

and sanctified them;
separated and devoted them to sacred use and service.
