Exodus 30:22–38

²²And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ²³‘And thou, take to thyself principal spices, wild honey five hundred shekels; and spice-cinnamon, the half of that, two hundred and fifty; and spice-cane two hundred and fifty; ²⁴and cassia five hundred, by the shekel of the sanctuary, and olive oil a hin; ²⁵and thou hast made it a holy anointing oil, a compound mixture, work of a compounder; it is a holy anointing oil.

²⁶‘And thou hast anointed with it the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, ²⁷and the table and all its vessels, and the candlestick and its vessels, and the altar of perfume, ²⁸and the altar of burnt-offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base; ²⁹and thou hast sanctified them, and they have been most holy; all that is coming against them is holy; ³⁰and Aaron and his sons thou dost anoint, and hast sanctified them for being priests to Me.

³¹‘And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, A holy anointing oil is this to Me, to your generations; ³²on flesh of man it is not poured, and with its proper proportion ye make none like it; it is holy; it is holy to you; ³³a man who compoundeth any like it, or who putteth of it on a stranger—hath even been cut off from his people.’ ³⁴And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Take to thee spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, spices and pure frankincense; they are part for part; ³⁵and thou hast made it a perfume, a compound, work of a compounder, salted, pure, holy; ³⁶and thou hast beaten some of it small, and hast put of it before the testimony, in the tent of meeting, whither I am met with thee; most holy it is to you.

³⁷‘As to the perfume which thou makest, with its proper proportion ye do not make to yourselves, holy it is to thee to Jehovah; ³⁸a man who maketh any like it—to be refreshed by it—hath even been cut off from his people.’
