Gill's Notes on the Bible

And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices. For though the Levites had the care of the spices, they might not make the ointment with them, only the priests, see Exodus 30:23.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 30. The sons of the priests made the ointment — Only the priests were permitted to make this ointment; all others were forbidden to do it on pain of death; see Exodus 30:34-38, and the notes there.
