Exodus 30:31-38 ▼

31 You shall say to the Israelites, ‘This shall be a holy and sacred anointing oil, to Me [alone] throughout your generations.

32 It shall not be poured on anyone’s body, nor shall you make any like it in the same composition. It is holy, and it shall be sacred to you.

33 Whoever prepares any like it or puts any of it on a layman shall be cut off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them].’”

34 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Take sweet and fragrant spices—stacte, onycha, and galbanum, sweet and fragrant spices with pure frankincense; there shall be an equal amount of each—

35 and make incense with it, a perfume, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure and sacred.

36 You shall crush some of it [into a] very fine [powder], and put some of it before the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you.

37 The incense which you shall make, you shall not make in the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for the LORD.

38 Whoever makes any like it, to use as perfume shall be cut off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them].”
