Take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head. The anointing of the high priest is performed by pouring oil on his head — not dabbing or sprinkling but a full pour that runs down over the head and beard. Psalm 133:2 describes the anointing oil running down over Aaron's beard, onto the collar of his robe — a generous, abundant anointing. The oil that pours over the high priest is the visual image of divine blessing flowing down from the head. 1 John 2:27 says the anointing you received from him remains in you — the anointing oil poured on Aaron's head is the type of the anointing Spirit poured on all who belong to the anointed one.
