Exodus 30:25-35

25And you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil.

26With it you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony,

27and the table 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 and its stand.

29You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them will become holy.

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

31And you shall say to the people of Israel, 'This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations.

32It shall not be poured on the body of an ordinary person, and you shall make no other like it in composition. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you.

33Whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.'"

34The Lord said to Moses, "Take sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense (of each shall there be an equal part),

35and make an incense blended as by the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
