What was the purpose of anointing oil and how should we think about it today? In today’s episode, Emma Dotter discusses Exodus 38-40 and the significance of anointing oil as a symbol of holiness and a test of obedience. The anointing oil used in the Old Testament can serve as a tangible expression of faith in the lives of those who trust in God.
