The table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense. The three furnishings of the Holy Place — the table, the lampstand, and the incense altar — and all their accessories are anointed with the sacred oil. Every piece of furniture that the priest will touch in his daily ministry has been consecrated by the anointing oil. The priest who tends the lamps, arranges the bread, and burns the incense touches surfaces that have been anointed — the contact between priest and furniture is a contact between the consecrated and the consecrated. The anointed priest serving at the anointed altar is the complete image of consecrated service.
