Exodus 30:23

21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And ^ait shall be a statute forever to them—to him and his descendants throughout their generations.”

The Holy Anointing Oil

22 Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

23 “Also take for yourself ^aquality spices—five hundred shekels of liquid ^bmyrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling ^ccane,

24 five hundred shekels of ^acassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a ^bhin of olive oil.

25 And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be ^aa holy anointing oil.

26 ^aWith it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony;

27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense;

28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base.

29 You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; ^awhatever touches them must be holy.

30 ^aAnd you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to Me as priests.

31 “And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations.

32 It shall not be poured on man’s flesh; nor shall you make any other like it, according to its composition. ^aIt is holy, and it shall be holy to you.

33 ^aWhoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on an outsider, ^bshall be cut off from his people.’ ”
