Exodus 30:22-33

English Standard Version

The Anointing Oil and Incense

²²The Lord said to Moses, ²³“Take the ^(A)finest spices: of liquid myrrh 500 shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half as much, that is, 250, and 250 of ^(B)aromatic cane, ²⁴and 500 of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a ^(C)hin^[a] of olive oil. ²⁵And you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the ^(D)perfumer; it shall be a ^(E)holy anointing oil. ²⁶^(F)With 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 ^(G)basin and its stand. ²⁹You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy. ^(H)Whatever touches them will become holy. ³⁰^(I)You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests. ³¹And you shall say to the people of Israel, ‘This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations. ³²It shall not be poured on the body of an ordinary person, and you shall make no other like it in composition. ^(J)It is holy, and it shall be holy to you. ³³^(K)Whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’”
