Oil and incense

22Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23And you, take for yourself the finest spices: five hundred shekels of flowing myrrh, and half as much—two hundred fifty—of fragrant cinnamon, and two hundred fifty of fragrant cane,

24and cassia, five hundred shekels by the sanctuary shekel, and a hin of olive oil.

25And you shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume blended by the work of a perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil.

26With it you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony.

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

28and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.

29You shall consecrate them, and they shall be most holy. Whatever touches them shall become holy.

30And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and you shall consecrate them to serve as priests to me.

31And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.’

32It shall not be poured on human flesh, and in its composition you shall not make any like it. It is holy; it shall be holy to you.

33Whoever compounds any like it, or puts any of it on a stranger, shall be cut off from his people.

34Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Take for yourself spices: stacte and onycha and galbanum, spices, and pure frankincense; they shall be in equal parts.”

35And you shall make it into incense, a perfume blended by the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, holy.

36And you shall grind some of it very fine, and put some of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy for you.

37And the incense that you make according to its composition, you shall not make for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for Yahweh.

38Whoever makes any like it to smell it shall be cut off from his people.
