Exodus 30:22–32

The Anointing Oil and Incense

²²The Lord spoke to Moses, ²³“Take the finest spices: of liquid myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred fifty, and two hundred fifty of aromatic cane, ²⁴and five hundred of cassia—measured by the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil, ²⁵and you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil.^{* 26}With it you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the covenant^{* 27}and 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 basin with its stand; ²⁹you shall consecrate them, so that they may be most holy; whatever touches them will become holy.^{* 30}You shall anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve me as priests.^{* 31}You shall say to the Israelites: This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations. ³²It shall not be used in any ordinary anointing of the body, and you shall make no other like it in composition; it is holy, and it shall be holy to you.^*
