Exodus 30:34-38
New King James Version
The Incense(A)
34 And the Lord said to Moses: (B)“Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, and pure frankincense with these sweet spices; there shall be equal amounts of each. 35 You shall make of these an incense, a compound (C)according to the art of the perfumer, salted, pure, and holy. 36 And you shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Testimony in the tabernacle of meeting (D)where I will meet with you. (E)It shall be most holy to you. 37 But as for the incense which you shall make, (F)you shall not make any for yourselves, according to its [a]composition. It shall be to you holy for the Lord. 38 (G)Whoever makes any like it, to smell it, he shall be cut off from his people.”

34 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, [a]stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight; 35 and thou shalt make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, [b]seasoned with salt, pure and holy: 36 and thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy. 37 And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the composition thereof ye shall not make for yourselves: it shall be unto thee holy for Jehovah. 38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereof, he shall be cut off from his people.
