Exodus 30:22-38 ▼

22 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

23 “And you, take [these] principal spices for yourself: five hundred [shekels] of liquid myrrh, and the half of that—two hundred and fifty [shekels]—of spice-cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty [shekels] of spice-cane,

24 and five hundred [shekels] of cassia, by the shekel of the holy place, and a hin of olive oil;

25 and you have made it a holy anointing oil, a compound mixture, work of a compounder; it is a holy anointing oil.

26 And with it you have anointed the Tent of Meeting, and the Ark of the Testimony,

27 and the table and all its vessels, and the lampstand and its vessels, and the altar of incense,

28 and the altar of burnt-offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base;

29 and you have sanctified them, and they have been most holy; all that is coming against them is holy;

30 and you anoint Aaron and his sons, and have sanctified them for being priests to Me.

31 And you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, This is a holy anointing oil to Me, throughout your generations;

32 it is not poured on [the] flesh of man, and you make nothing [else] like it in its proportion; it [is] holy—it is holy to you;

33 a man who compounds [any] like it, or who puts of it on a stranger, has even been cut off from his people.”

34 And YHWH says to Moses, “Take to yourself spices—stacte, and onycha, and galbanum—spices and pure frankincense; they are part for part;

35 and you have made it an incense, a compound, work of a compounder, salted, pure, holy;

36 and you have beaten [some] of it small, and have put of it before the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, to where I meet with you; it is most holy to you.

37 As for the incense which you make, you do not make [any] for yourselves in its proportion; it is holy to you for YHWH;

38 a man who makes [any] like it—to be refreshed by it—has even been cut off from his people.”
