The holy anointing oil (Hebrew: שמן המשחה ''shemen ha-mishchah'', "oil of anointing") formed an integral part of the ordination of the priesthood and the High Priest as well as in the consecration of the articles of the Tabernacle (Exodus 30:26) and subsequent temples in Jerusalem. The primary purpose of anointing with the holy anointing oil was to cause the anointed persons or objects to become ''qodesh'', or "most holy" (Exodus 30:29). Originally, the oil was used exclusively for the priests and the Tabernacle articles but was later extended to include prophets and kings (I Samuel 10:1). It was forbidden to be used on an outsider (Exodus 30:33) or to be used on the body of any common persons (Ex. 30:32a) and the Israelites were forbidden to duplicate any like it for themselves (Ex. 30:32b). Christianity has continued the practice of using holy anointing oil as a devotional practice, as well as in various liturgies. == Hebrew Bible == The holy anointing oil described in Exodus was created from:〔Commentary on the Bible, by Adam Clarke〕 * Pure myrrh (מר דרור ''mar deror'') 500 shekels (about 6 kg) * Sweet cinnamon (קינמון בשם ''kinnemon besem'') 250 shekels (about 3 kg) * Kaneh bosem (קְנֵה-בֹשֶׂם ''kaneh bosm'') 250 shekels (about 3 kg) * Cassia (קדה ''kiddah'') 500 shekels (about 6 kg) * Olive oil (שמן זית ''shemen zayit'') one ''hin'' (about 5 quarts according to Adam Clarke; about 4 liters according to Shiurei Torah, 7 liters according to the Chazon Ish) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holy anointing oil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
