The Hebrew word "sukh" (Greek: "aleipho") were used for normal 'greasing, or rubbing on of oil'(Ruth 3:3; John 11:2), but for a 'special anointing' , to accomplish a certain purpose, the word "Messiah" (mashach / mashiach) was used. (Exodus 30:30; Luke 4:18; Acts 4:26).
Thus, Aaron, Moses and Jesus could all be called "Messiah", or 'anointed' for a special purpose. (Messiah+Christ, both mean anointed)(Leviticus 8:12 / Psalm 133:2)
