Exodus 30:33 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 30:33

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.’ ”

The Incense

34 And the Lord said to Moses: ^a“Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, and pure frankincense with these sweet spices; there shall be equal amounts of each.

35 You shall make of these an incense, a compound ^aaccording to the art of the perfumer, salted, pure, and holy.

36 And you shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Testimony in the tabernacle of meeting ^awhere I will meet with you. ^bIt shall be most holy to you.

37 But as for the incense which you shall make, ^ayou shall not make any for yourselves, according to its¹ composition. It shall be to you holy for the Lord.

38 ^aWhoever makes any like it, to smell it, he shall be cut off from his people.”
