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.
