31And you are to tell the Israelites: ‘This is to be my sacred anointing oil throughout your generations. 32It must not be applied to people’s bodies, and you must not make any like it with the same recipe. It is holy, and it must be holy to you. Whoever makes perfume like it and whoever puts any of it on someone not a priest will be cut off from his people.’” 34The Lord said to Moses: “Take spices, gum resin, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense of equal amounts 35and make it into an incense, a perfume, the work of a perfumer. It is to be finely ground, and pure and sacred.
