Exodus 30:22-33

The Voice

Eternal One: ²³ Collect the best spices: twelve and a half pounds of liquid myrrh, six pounds of fragrant cinnamon, six pounds of fragrant cane, ²⁴ and twelve and a half pounds of cassia—in accordance with the sanctuary weights—and one gallon of olive oil. ²⁵ Blend all these spices together like a skillful perfumer to make a holy anointing oil; this fragrant mixture will be used as a holy anointing oil. ²⁶ Use it to anoint the congregation tent and the covenant chest, ²⁷ the table and all its accessories, the lampstand and its tools, the altar of incense, ²⁸ the altar for the burnt offering and all its tools, and the basin and its stand. ²⁹ Consecrate all these furnishings and their utensils so that they are most holy. Anything that touches them will become holy.

³⁰ Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them, so that they are able to serve as My priests. ³¹ Address the Israelites and say, “This is My sacred anointing oil that you will use for all generations. ³² It must not be poured on anyone else. Do not attempt to make an anointing oil for your own purposes with the same ingredients in the same proportions. It is sacred, and it is to be sacred to you. ³³ Whoever makes a similar blend or anoints anyone who is not ordained as a priest will be cut off from the community.”
