Exodus 30:22–33

The Anointing Oil

22 The Lord spoke to Moses: 23 “Take for yourself the finest spices: c 12½ pounds d of liquid myrrh, half as much (6¼ pounds e) of fragrant cinnamon, 6¼ pounds f of fragrant cane, 24 12½ pounds g of cassia (by the sanctuary shekel), and one gallon h of olive oil. i 25 Prepare from these a holy anointing oil, a scented blend, the work of a perfumer; it will be holy anointing oil. j

26 “With it you are to anoint k the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, 27 the table with all its utensils, the lampstand with its utensils, the altar of incense, 28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand. 29 Consecrate them and they will be especially holy. Whatever touches them will be consecrated. 30 Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate l them to serve Me as priests.

31 “Tell the Israelites: This will be My holy anointing oil throughout your generations. 32 It must not be used for ordinary anointing on a person’s body, and you must not make anything like it using its formula. It is holy, and it must be holy to you. 33 Anyone who blends something like it or puts some of it on an unauthorized person must be cut off m from his people.”
