Exodus 30:23-38

Thomson(i) 23 Thou thyself shalt take spices; the flower of choice myrrh five hundred shekels: and sweet scented cinnamon half as much; two hundred and fifty shekels; and sweet scented calamus two hundred and fifty shekels; 24 and of iris five hundred shekels, sanctuary weight; and olive oil a hin; 25 and of these thou shalt make an holy ointment, an odoriferous perfume, compounded by the art of an apothecary. 26 It shall be a holy anointing oil and with it thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony and the ark of the tabernacle of the testimony 27 and all the utensils thereof, and the candlestick and all the utensils belonging to it; 28 and the altar of incense; and the altar of whole burnt offerings and all its utensils; and the table and all its utensils and the laver. 29 And thou shalt hallow them, and they shall be holy of holies. Every one who toucheth them shall be hallowed. 30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons and hallow them to minister to me as priests. 31 And thon shalt speak to the children of Israel and say, This shall be to you a holy anointing oil throughout your generations. 32 Upon the flesh of man it must not be poured; nor shall you make any for your selves according to this composition. It shall be holy, and held in veneration by you. 33 Whoever shall make any like it or give any of it to a stranger, shall be rooted out from among his people. 34 Moreover the Lord said to Moses, Take thee spices; stacte, onycha and sweet scented chalbanum and pellucid frankincense, of each an equal quantity. 35 And of these they shall make compound incense mixed up by the art of an apothecary, a pure holy composition. 36 And thou shalt beat some of it fine, and lay it over against the testimonies in the tabernacle of the testimony, where I shall make myself known to thee. It shall be to you a most holy incense. 37 According to the composition thereof you shall not make any for yourselves. You shall consider it as a holy thing appropriate to the Lord. 38 Whoever shall make any like it to yield a fragrance for himself shall be rooted out from among his people.
