EXODUS 28:41 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office.”
After you put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint and ordain them. Consecrate them so they may serve me as priests. The installation of the priests requires three acts: clothing (putting on the vestments), anointing (applying the anointing oil), and ordaining (literally filling the hands — the technical phrase for priestly installation). All three are divine requirements for the priestly office. The anointing that consecrates the priest is the anointing that gives his ministry its authority. Acts 10:38 says God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power — the anointing of the Aaronic priests is the type of the anointing of the one who is simultaneously priest, prophet, and king.
