And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

And you take spices for yourself, the best, five hundred of pure myrrh, and its half of spicy cinnamon, two hundred and fifty shekels , and two hundred and fifty of aromatic calamus;

and five hundred of cassia, by the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.

And you shall make it an oil of holy anointing, ointment compound, the work of a perfumer, an oil of holy anointing it shall be.

And you shall anoint with it the tabernacle of the congregation and the ark of the testimony,

and the table and all its vessels and the altar of incense,

and the altar of burnt offering, and all its vessels, and the laver and its base.

And you shall sanctify them, and they shall become most holy; everything touching them shall become holy.

And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and you shall consecrate them to minister as priests to Me.

And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil for Me for your generations.

It shall not be poured on the flesh of man, and you shall not make any like it in its proportion; it is holy. It shall be holy to you.

If a man prepares any like it, or who gives from it to a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.
