Exodus 30:22-38

22Then the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 23“TakeH3947 the finestH7218 spicesH1314: 500 shekelsH2568H3967 of liquidH1865 myrrhH4753,1 halfH4276 that amount (250 shekelsH2572H3967) of fragrantH1314 cinnamonH7076,2 250 shekelsH2572H3967 of fragrantH1314 caneH7070,3 24500 shekelsH2568H3967 of cassiaH69164—all according to the sanctuaryH6944 shekelH8255—and a hinH1969 of oliveH2132 oilH8081.5 25PrepareH6213 from these a sacredH6944 anointingH4888 oilH8081, a fragrant blendH7545H4842, the workH4639 of a perfumerH7543; it will beH1961 a sacredH6944 anointingH4888 oilH8081.

26Use this oil to anointH4886 the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, the arkH727 of the TestimonyH5715, 27the tableH7979 andH853 allH3605 its utensilsH3627, the lampstandH4501 andH853 its utensilsH3627, the altarH4196 of incenseH7004, 28the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930 andH853 allH3605 its utensilsH3627, and the basinH3595 with its standH3653. 29You are to consecrateH6942 themH853 so that they will beH1961 mostH6944 holyH6944. WhateverH3605 touchesH5060 them shall be holyH6942. 30AnointH4886 AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 and consecrateH6942 themH853 to serve Me as priestsH3547.

31And you are to tellH1696H559H413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, ‘ThisH2088 will beH1961 My sacredH6944 anointingH4888 oilH8081 for the generations to comeH1755. 32It must notH3808 be used to anointH5480H5921 an ordinary manH120H1320, and you must notH3808 makeH6213 anything like itH3644 with the same formulaH4971. ItH1931 is holyH6944, and it must beH1961 holyH6944 to you. 33AnyoneH376 whoH834 mixes perfumeH7543 like itH3644 or putsH5414 it onH5921 an outsiderH2114 shall be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971.’”

34The LORD alsoH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “TakeH3947 fragrant spicesH5561—gum resinH5198, onychaH7827, galbanumH2464, and pureH2134 frankincenseH3828—in equal measuresH905, 35and makeH6213 a fragrant blend of incenseH7004, the work of a perfumerH7543, seasoned with saltH4414, pureH2889 and holyH6944. 36GrindH7833 some of itH4480 into fine powderH1854 and placeH5414 itH4480 in front ofH6440 the TestimonyH57156 in the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, whereH834 I will meetH3259 with youH8033. It shall beH1961 mostH6944 holyH6944 to you. 37You are never to useH6213H3808 this formulaH4971 to makeH6213 incenseH7004 for yourselves; you shall regard it as holyH6944H1961 to the LORDH3068. 38AnyoneH376 whoH834 makesH6213 something likeH3644 it to enjoyH7306 its fragrance shall be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971.”
