34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee these spices, pure myrrh and [a]clear gum and galbanum, these odors with pure frankincense of each like weight:

35 Then thou shalt make of them perfume composed after the art of the apothecary, mingled together, pure and holy.

36 And thou shalt beat it to powder, and shalt put it before the Ark of the Testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will make appointment with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.

37 And ye shall not make unto you any composition like this perfume, which thou shalt make: it shall be unto thee holy for the [b]Lord.

38 Whosoever shall make like unto that to smell thereto, even he shall be cut off from his people.
