Exodus 30:22–33

The Anointing Oil

²²The Lord spoke to Moses: ²³“Take for yourself the finest spices: ^c12½ pounds ^dof liquid myrrh, half as much (6¼ pounds ^e) of fragrant cinnamon, 6¼ pounds ^fof fragrant cane, ²⁴12½ pounds ^gof cassia (by the sanctuary shekel), and one gallon ^hof olive oil. ⁱ²⁵Prepare 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 ^kthe tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, ²⁷the table with all its utensils, the lampstand with its utensils, the altar of incense, ²⁸the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand. ²⁹Consecrate them and they will be especially holy. Whatever touches them will be consecrated. ³⁰Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate ^lthem to serve Me as priests.

³¹“Tell the Israelites: This will be My holy anointing oil throughout your generations. ³²It 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. ³³Anyone who blends something like it or puts some of it on an unauthorized person must be cut off ^mfrom his people.”
