Exodus 30:22-38

New King James Version

The Holy Anointing Oil^(A)

²² Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ²³ “Also take for yourself ^(B)quality spices—five hundred shekels of liquid ^(C)myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling ^(D)cane, ²⁴ five hundred shekels of ^(E)cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a ^(F)hin of olive oil. ²⁵ And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be ^(G)a holy anointing oil. ^26 (H)With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony; ²⁷ the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense; ²⁸ the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base. ²⁹ You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; ^(I)whatever touches them must be holy. ^30 (J)And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to Me as priests.

³¹ “And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations. ³² It shall not be poured on man’s flesh; nor shall you make any other like it, according to its composition. ^(K)It is holy, and it shall be holy to you. ^33 (L)Whoever ^[a]compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on an outsider, ^(M)shall be ^[b]cut off from his people.’ ”

The Incense^(N)

³⁴ And the Lord said to Moses: ^(O)“Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, and pure frankincense with these sweet spices; there shall be equal amounts of each. ³⁵ You shall make of these an incense, a compound ^(P)according to the art of the perfumer, salted, pure, and holy. ³⁶ And you shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Testimony in the tabernacle of meeting ^(Q)where I will meet with you. ^(R)It shall be most holy to you. ³⁷ But as for the incense which you shall make, ^(S)you shall not make any for yourselves, according to its ^[c]composition. It shall be to you holy for the Lord. ^38 (T)Whoever makes any like it, to smell it, he shall be cut off from his people.”
