New Living Translation
Exodus 30:23-33
23“Collect choice spices—12-1/2 pounds of pure myrrh, 6-1/4 pounds of fragrant cinnamon, 6-1/4 pounds of fragrant calamus,
24and 12-1/2 pounds of cassia—as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel. Also get one gallon of olive oil.
25Like a skilled incense maker, blend these ingredients to make a holy anointing oil.
26Use this sacred oil to anoint the Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant,
27the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and all its accessories, the incense altar,
28the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the washbasin with its stand.
29Consecrate them to make them absolutely holy. After this, whatever touches them will also become holy.
30“Anoint Aaron and his sons also, consecrating them to serve me as priests.
31And say to the people of Israel, ‘This holy anointing oil is reserved for me from generation to generation.
32It must never be used to anoint anyone else, and you must never make any blend like it for yourselves. It is holy, and you must treat it as holy.
33Anyone who makes a blend like it or anoints someone other than a priest will be cut off from the community.’”
