Exodus 30:25-35

25You shall make of these a holy anointing oil, a perfume mixture, the work of a perfumer; it shall be a sacred anointing oil.

26You shall anoint the Tent of Meeting with it, and the ark of the Testimony,

27and the table [for the bread] and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,

28and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin [for cleansing] and its base.

29You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them must be holy (set apart for God).

30You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may serve as priests to Me.

31You shall say to the Israelites, ‘This shall be a holy and sacred anointing oil, to Me [alone] throughout your generations.

32It shall not be poured on anyone’s body, nor shall you make any like it in the same composition. It is holy, and it shall be sacred to you.

33Whoever prepares any like it or puts any of it on a layman shall be cut off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them].’ ”

34Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take sweet and fragrant spices—stacte, onycha, and galbanum, sweet and fragrant spices with pure frankincense; there shall be an equal amount of each—

35and make incense with it, a perfume, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure and sacred.
