Exodus 30:34-38

Common English Bible

³⁴ The Lord said to Moses: Take an equal amount of each of these spices: gum resin, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense. ³⁵ Like a skilled perfume maker, carefully blend them together and make incense, seasoned with salt, pure and holy. ³⁶ Beat some of it into a fine powder and put part of it in front of the covenant document in the meeting tent where I will meet with you. You should regard it as perfectly holy. ³⁷ When you make incense according to this formula, you shouldn’t make any of it for your own use. You should regard it as holy to the Lord. ³⁸ Whoever makes incense with this same formula to enjoy its fragrance will be cut off from the people.
