Anointing Oil

²² Then the Lord said to Moses, ²³ “Take the following fine spices:^(A) 500 shekels^[a] of liquid myrrh,^(B) half as much (that is, 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon,^(C) 250 shekels^[b] of fragrant calamus,^{(D) 24} 500 shekels^(E) of cassia^(F)—all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin^[c] of olive oil. ²⁵ Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer.^(G) It will be the sacred anointing oil.^{(H) 26} Then use it to anoint^(I) the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law, ²⁷ the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense, ²⁸ the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand. ²⁹ You shall consecrate them^(J) so they will be most holy, and whatever touches them will be holy.^(K)

³⁰ “Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate^(L) them so they may serve me as priests.^{(M) 31} Say to the Israelites, ‘This is to be my sacred anointing oil^(N) for the generations to come.^{(O) 32} Do not pour it on anyone else’s body and do not make any other oil using the same formula. It is sacred, and you are to consider it sacred.^{(P) 33} Whoever makes perfume like it and puts it on anyone other than a priest must be cut off^(Q) from their people.’”

Incense

³⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take fragrant spices^(R)—gum resin, onycha and galbanum—and pure frankincense, all in equal amounts, ³⁵ and make a fragrant blend of incense,^(S) the work of a perfumer.^(T) It is to be salted and pure and sacred. ³⁶ Grind some of it to powder and place it in front of the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, where I will meet^(U) with you. It shall be most holy^(V) to you. ³⁷ Do not make any incense with this formula for yourselves; consider it holy^(W) to the Lord. ³⁸ Whoever makes incense like it to enjoy its fragrance must be cut off^(X) from their people.”

Bezalel and Oholiab^(Y)

31 Then the Lord said to Moses, ² “See, I have chosen Bezalel^(Z) son of Uri, the son of Hur,^(AA) of the tribe of Judah, ³ and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge^(AB) and with all kinds of skills^(AC)— ⁴ to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, ⁵ to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. ⁶ Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab^(AD) son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan,^(AE) to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers^(AF) to make everything I have commanded you: ⁷ the tent of meeting,^(AG) the ark of the covenant law^(AH) with the atonement cover^(AI) on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent— ⁸ the table^(AJ) and its articles, the pure gold lampstand^(AK) and all its accessories, the altar of incense,^{(AL) 9} the altar of burnt offering^(AM) and all its utensils, the basin^(AN) with its stand— ¹⁰ and also the woven garments^(AO), both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, ¹¹ and the anointing oil^(AP) and fragrant incense^(AQ) for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded^(AR) you.”

Jesus Arrested^(A)

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, Judas,^(B) one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. ⁴⁸ Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” ⁴⁹ Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!”^(C) and kissed him.

⁵⁰ Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”^[a](D)

Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. ⁵¹ With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword,^(E) drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.^(F)

⁵² “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.^{(G) 53} Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?^{(H) 54} But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled^(I) that say it must happen in this way?”

⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching,^(J) and you did not arrest me. ⁵⁶ But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.”^(K) Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.
