the LORD said to Moses, 23 “Take
the following fine spices: 500 shekels[a] of liquid myrrh, half as much (that is, 250 shekels) of fragrant
cinnamon, 250 shekels[b] of fragrant calamus, 24 500 shekels of cassia—all according
to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin[c] of olive oil. 25 Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a
fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer. It will be the sacred anointing oil. 26
Then use it to anoint the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law, 27
the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the
altar of incense, 28 the altar of burnt offering and all its
utensils, and the basin with its stand. 29 You shall consecrate them
so they will be most holy, and whatever touches them will be holy.
“Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them so they may serve me as
priests. 31 Say to the Israelites, ‘This is to be my sacred
anointing oil for the generations to come. 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. 33 Whoever makes perfume like it
and puts it on anyone other than a priest must be cut off from their people.’”
