Then the LORD said to Moses, "Take for yourself spices—stacte, onycha, and galbanum, spices and pure frankincense; there shall be an equal part of each.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:

"You shall make incense from it all, a skillful mixture, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, and holy.

And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:

"And you shall crush some of it very fine, and put part of it in front of the testimony in the tent of meeting where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you.

And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.

"And the incense which you shall make, you shall not make in the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for the LORD.

And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the Lord .

"Whoever makes any like it, to use as perfume, shall be cut off from his people."

Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
