Exodus 30:22-38
22Moreover, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23“Take also for yourself the finest of spices: of liquid myrrh 1five hundred shekels, and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, 250, and of fragrant cane 250, 24and of cassia 500, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a 2hin. 25You shall make 3from these a holy anointing oil, a fragrant mixture of ointments, the work of a perfumer; it shall be 4a holy anointing oil. 26And 5you shall anoint the tent of meeting with it, 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 and all its utensils, and the basin and its stand. 29You shall also consecrate them, so that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be holy. 30And 6you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, so that they may serve as priests to Me. 31Furthermore, you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations. 32It shall not be poured on 7anyone’s body, nor shall you make any like it in 8the same proportions; 9it is holy, and it shall be holy to you. 3310Whoever mixes any like it or whoever puts any of it on a 11layman 1213shall be cut off from his people.’”
34Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take for yourself spices--stacte, onycha, and galbanum, spices and pure frankincense; there shall be an equal part of each. 35You shall make incense from it all, a skillful mixture, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, and holy. 36And you shall crush some of it very fine, and put part of it in front of the testimony in the tent of meeting 14where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you. 37And the incense which you shall make, 15you shall not make in 16the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for the Lord. 3817Whoever makes any like it, to 18use as perfume, 19shall be cut off from his people.”
