https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anointing
Anointing is the ritual act of pouring aromatic oil over a person's head or entire body.
[1] By extension, the term is also applied to related acts of sprinkling, dousing, or smearing a person or object with any perfumed oil, milk, butter, or other fat.[2] Scented oils are used as perfumes and sharing them is an act of hospitality. Their use to introduce a divine influence or presence is recorded from the earliest times; anointing was thus used as a form of medicine, thought to rid persons and things of dangerous spirits and demons which were believed to cause disease.
In present usage, "anointing" is typically used for ceremonial blessings such as the coronation
of European monarchs. This continues an earlier Hebrew practice most famously observed in
the anointings of Aaron as high priest and both Saul and David by the prophet Samuel
the high priest would Anoint a new king

Paul mentions that the levitical priests are still offering sacrifices to God
even after Christ's death on the cross.
(Hebrews 8:3-4) Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices,
and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.
If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests
who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.
-
If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night
Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant,
that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne;
and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
Deuteronomy 12:19 (KJV)
19Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not
the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
