What is the difference between „anointing“ and „ordaining“?
In the O.T God anointed the kings—equivalent to crowning— the High Priest and the prophets—equivalent to appointing. Jesus was the anointed One. The dead bodies were anointed according the Jewish custom (I don´t know the reason). „When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial”. (Mt 26:12)
“Ordain” is an act of consecration (I think). In the following verses God anointed and ordained. There must be a different purpose between the two rites.
“Aaron’s sacred garments will belong to his descendants so that they can be anointed and ordained in them.” (Ex 29:29)
“You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you.” (Eze 28:14)
