Exodus 30:28-38
New American Standard Bible
28 and the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin and its stand. 29 You shall also consecrate them, so that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be holy. 30 And (A)you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, so that they may serve as priests to Me. 31 Furthermore, you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations. 32 It shall not be poured on [a]anyone’s body, nor shall you make any like it in [b]the same proportions; (B)it is holy, and it shall be holy to you. 33 (C)Whoever mixes any like it or whoever puts any of it on a [c]layman [d](D)shall be cut off from his people.’”
The Incense
34 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take for yourself spices—stacte, onycha, and galbanum, spices and pure frankincense; there shall be an equal part of each. 35 You shall make incense from it all, a skillful mixture, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, and holy. 36 And you shall crush some of it very fine, and put part of it in front of the testimony in the tent of meeting (E)where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you. 37 And the incense which you shall make, (F)you shall not make in [e]the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for the Lord. 38 (G)Whoever makes any like it, to [f]use as perfume, [g]shall be cut off from his people.”

New International Version
28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand. 29 You shall consecrate them(A) so they will be most holy, and whatever touches them will be holy.(B)
30 “Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate(C) them so they may serve me as priests.(D) 31 Say to the Israelites, ‘This is to be my sacred anointing oil(E) for the generations to come.(F) 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.(G) 33 Whoever makes perfume like it and puts it on anyone other than a priest must be cut off(H) from their people.’”
Incense
34 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take fragrant spices(I)—gum resin, onycha and galbanum—and pure frankincense, all in equal amounts, 35 and make a fragrant blend of incense,(J) the work of a perfumer.(K) 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(L) with you. It shall be most holy(M) to you. 37 Do not make any incense with this formula for yourselves; consider it holy(N) to the Lord. 38 Whoever makes incense like it to enjoy its fragrance must be cut off(O) from their people.”

King James Version
Exodus 30:28-38
King James Version
28 And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
31 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
32 Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:
35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:
36 And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
37 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the Lord.
38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
