will anoint

To rub, smear, or anoint with a substance, usually oil, for practical, ritual, or symbolic purposes. The verb can refer to the general act of applying a substance, most commonly oil, to persons or objects—often as part of rituals of hospitality, healing, or consecration. The sense is broader than technical acts of anointing for high office (as with מָשַׁח, mashach), and can describe simply oiling the body, smearing ointments, or anointing household items.
