Exodus 30:22-33
Special oil that make things holy
v22 Then the Lord said to Moses:
v23 ‘Mix together these good spices:
6 kilos of liquid myrrh
3 kilos of sweet cinnamon
3 kilos of sweet cane
v24 6 kilos of cassia
4 liters of olive oil.
v25 Make these into a holy oil, the special oil that makes things holy. It will be the work of a wise chemist.
v26 Then pour a little oil on all of these things:
the Tent of Meeting
the Ark of the Covenant
v27 the table and all its tools
the lampstand and its tools
v28 the two altars with their tools
and the very large dish for water with its base.
v29 You must make all these things separate so that they will be most holy. Then anything that touches them will become holy.
v30 Pour some of the holy oil on Aaron’s head and on the heads of his sons. Make them separate, and then they can work for me as priests.
v31 Say to the Israelites: “This will be my holy oil for all time.
v32 Do not pour it on the bodies of men who are not priests. Do not make any of this oil to use for other things. It is holy and you must always think about it as holy.
v33 Nobody must make a sweet smell like this oil. Nobody must put this oil on any person except on a priest. Anyone who does not obey this rule must die.” ’

The Celebration of the Passover and Unleavened Bread
The Celebration of the Passover and Unleavened Bread
…“the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.
These are the LORD's appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times:
The LORD's Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.
On the fifteenth day of that month the LORD's Feast of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast.
On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.
For seven days present an offering made to the LORD by fire. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.' ” Leviticus 23:2, 4-8 (NIV)

Go and teach all nations - Exodus 29:35-37
Go and teach all nations
Exodus 29:35-37
The rites of consecration takes seven days
v35 Do everything that I have commanded you, for Aaron and his sons. Make them holy and give them authority during 7 days.
v36 Kill a male cow each day, as a gift. This animal that you offer dies instead of you, for your sin.’
‘Make the altar completely clean. Pay for it with a gift and pour oil on it. This will make it special and holy.
v37 Do this to the altar for 7 days, and then it will become very holy. Anything that touches the altar will become holy too.
Comment:
We read in Hebrews 9:22 that blood is necessary to make almost everything clean and holy. Without blood, God cannot forgive the bad things that we do. God saw the blood of the animals that the Israelites killed. He knew that one day Jesus would die for the sins of many people.
When bad men killed Jesus, he bled. His holy blood washes us clean from sin, when we believe in him. He died for our sins instead of us. God punished him, instead of us.
We read in 2 Corinthians 5:21 that God put all our sins on Jesus.
Jesus had no sins of his own.
