Exodus 30:20-29

Common English Bible

²⁰ When they go into the meeting tent or approach the altar to minister and to offer a food gift to the Lord, they must wash with water so that they don’t die. ²¹ They must wash their hands and their feet so that they don’t die. This will be a permanent regulation for them, for Aaron and his descendants in every generation.

Instructions for oil and incense

²² The Lord spoke to Moses: ²³ Now take for yourself high-quality spices: five hundred weight of solid myrrh; half as much of sweet-smelling cinnamon, that is, two hundred fifty; two hundred fifty weight of sweet-smelling cane; ²⁴ five hundred of cassia—measured by the sanctuary shekel—and a hin^[a] of olive oil. ²⁵ Prepare a holy anointing oil, blending them like a skilled perfume maker to produce the holy anointing oil. ²⁶ Use it to anoint the meeting tent, the chest containing the covenant, ²⁷ the table and all its equipment, the lampstand and its equipment, the incense altar, ²⁸ the altar for entirely burned offerings and all its equipment, and the washbasin with its stand. ²⁹ Make them holy so that they may be perfectly holy. Whatever touches them will become holy.
