New King James Version
Exodus 30:22-38
22Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23“Also take for yourself quality spices—five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane,
24five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
25And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil.
26With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony;
27the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense;
28the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base.
29You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them must be holy.
30And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to Me as priests.
31“And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations.
32It shall not be poured on man’s flesh; nor shall you make any other like it, according to its 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.’ ”
34And the Lord said to Moses: “Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, and pure frankincense with these sweet spices; there shall be equal amounts of each.
35You shall make of these an incense, a compound according to the art of the perfumer, salted, pure, and holy.
36And you shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Testimony in the tabernacle of meeting where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you.
37But as for the incense which you shall make, you shall not make any for yourselves, according to its composition. It shall be to you holy for the Lord.
38Whoever makes any like it, to smell it, he shall be cut off from his people.”
