Anoint
Oil in the Bible represents the Lord’s love, so anointing someone (or something) with oil was a way to make that person (or object) a representative of the Lord. At the ultimate level, of course, the Lord Himself, as Jesus, is known as “the Anointed,” used with a similar meaning to “Messiah” or “Christ.” Being the Anointed means that he is love itself, presented to us through divinely true ideas. The fact that kings and priests were anointed meant that they also could represent true ideas coming from good loves, on a lower level.

Psalms 45:2-9
2
You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.
3
Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one: your splendor and your majesty.
4
In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
5
Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king's enemies.
6
Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
7
You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8
All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
9
Kings' daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
