This term is used in the New Testament to describe the anointing of Jesus as the Messiah, the "Anointed One." Usage: The Hebrew verb "lashad" primarily means to moisten or to anoint. It is used in contexts where a liquid is applied to a surface, often for the purpose of consecration or preparation. The act of anointing is significant in biblical texts, symbolizing sanctification, blessing, or the setting apart of individuals or objects for a holy purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, anointing with oil was a common practice for consecrating priests, kings, and prophets. It was a symbolic act that represented the Holy Spirit's empowerment and God's blessing. The use of oil in anointing was also associated with healing and hospitality. Anointing was a deeply spiritual act, reflecting the belief in God's presence and favor.
