• Christ, as a divine Person, had the title of an independent will. “The Son quickens whom he will”; but He came to do His Father’s will. His will was obedience, sinless therefore, and perfect. Leaven, in the Word, is the symbol of corruption-“the leaven of malice and wickedness.” In the cake, therefore, which was to be offered as a sweet savor to God, there was no leaven. (“Leviticus 2” by J.N. Darby)
• The cake1 was made mingled with oil, just as the human nature of Christ had its being and character, its taste, from the Holy Spirit, of which oil is ever and the known symbol. (“Leviticus 2” by J.N. Darby)
• So, when broken into pieces, every part of it was anointed with oil, to show that if Christ’s life were, so to speak, taken to pieces, every detail and element of it was in the perfectness of, and characterized by, the Holy Spirit. (“Leviticus 2” by J.N. Darby)

It cannot, I think, be doubted that this is more than, and intended to be more than "anointed." "Mixed," "mingled," is the sense of the word. In Ps. 92.10 it is not merely "anointed" as consecration, but his whole system is invigorated and strengthened by it. It formed his strength; hence it is "fresh oil" there.
