Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G218: ἁλείφω (aleipho) • to anoint • G2090: ἑτοιμάζω (hetoimazo) • to prepare, make ready • G2525: καθίστημι (kathistemi) • to set, appoint • G5548: χρίω (chrio) • to anoint These Greek terms reflect similar concepts of anointing and preparation, often used in the New Testament to describe the anointing of Jesus as the Christ (the Anointed One) and the preparation of individuals for divine purposes. Usage: The verb מָשַׁח (mashach) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of anointing, which involves applying oil to a person or object. This act is often symbolic, signifying consecration, sanctification, or the setting apart of someone or something for a special purpose or office. It is used in various contexts, including the anointing of kings, priests, and sacred objects. Context: The Hebrew verb מָשַׁח (mashach) is a significant term in the Old Testament, frequently associated with religious and ceremonial practices. The act of anointing with oil is a ritual that conveys the idea of sanctification and divine appointment. In the ancient Near Eastern context, anointing was a common practice for designating individuals to positions of authority and responsibility, such as kings and priests. In the Bible, the anointing of kings is a prominent theme. For example, the prophet Samuel anointed Saul as the first king of Israel (1 Samuel 10:1), and later, David was anointed as king (1 Samuel 16:13). This anointing signified God's choice and empowerment of these individuals for leadership. The anointing of priests, such as Aaron and his sons, is also described in the context of their consecration for service in the tabernacle (Exodus 28:41). The term is also used metaphorically to describe the anointing of the Messiah, the "Anointed One," who is set apart for a divine mission. This concept is foundational in both Jewish and Christian theology, with the expectation of a future anointed deliverer. In addition to its religious connotations, מָשַׁח (mashach) can also refer to the act of painting or smearing, as seen in some non-religious contexts. Key Biblical References: • 1 Samuel 10:1: "Then Samuel took a flask of oil, poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said, 'Has not the LORD anointed you ruler over His inheritance?'" • 1 Samuel 16:13: "So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from that day forward."
