Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying -

Thou, therefore, take to thee - principal spices, - self-flowing myrrh, five hundred, and fragrant cinnamon, half as much, two hundred and fifty, and, fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;

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

And thou shalt make it an oil for holy anointing, a compounded perfume the work of a perfumer, - an oil for holy anointing, shall it be.

And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, - and the ark of the testimony;

and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand, and its utensils, - and the incense altar,

and the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and all its utensils,-and the laver, and its stand.

So shalt thou hallow them, and they shall be most holy, - whosoever toucheth them, shall be holy.

Aaron also, and his sons, shalt thou anoint, - so shalt thou hallow them to minister as priests unto me.

And unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak, saying, An oil for holy anointing, shall this be to me, to your generations.

Upon the flesh of a common man, shall it not be poured, and according to the proportions thereof, shall ye not make any like it, - holy, it is, holy, shall it be to you.

Whosoever compoundeth any like it, and whosoever bestoweth thereof upon a stranger, shall he out off from among his people.
