Exodus 40 and Leviticus 8:10-12 depict the execution of the directive to consecrate the Tabernacle, starting with the Most Holy Place and encompassing all its furnishings. Following the sanctification of the Tabernacle, the anointing of Aaron and his sons is also instituted. This account specifies the command for anointing 'for everlasting generations.' It asserts that no individual had the authority to perform such an anointing or to apply it for any unholy or profane use.

It also notes, 'And of the sons of the priests (under Solomon) some made myrrh of fragrant substances.'
