22 Jehovah said to Moses:
23 »Take top quality spices: twelve pounds of liquid myrrh, six pounds of sweet-smelling cinnamon, six pounds of sweet-smelling cane,
24 and twelve pounds of cassia, according to the official standard. Add one gallon of olive oil,
25 and make sacred anointing oil, mixed like perfume.
26 »This is for dedicating the tent and chest,
27 the table with its equipment, the lamp stand with its equipment, the incense altar with all its utensils,
28 the altar for sacrifices, and the large bowl with its stand.
29 »You will make them so holy that anyone who even touches them will become holy when you dedicate them this way.
30 »Sprinkle Aaron and his sons with this oil when you ordain them as my priests.
31 »Say this to the people of Israel: ‘This oil must always be used in the ordination service of a priest. It is holy because it is dedicated to Jehovah.
32 »So treat it as holy! Do not use it for everyday purposes or mix any for yourselves.
33 »If you do, you will no longer belong to Jehovah’s people.’«
34 Jehovah said to Moses: »Take one part fragrant spices and two kinds of gum resin and aromatic mollusk shells, and mix them with one part pure frankincense.
35 »Have a perfumer make it into fragrant incense, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
36 »Grind some of it into a fine powder. Put it in front of the ark containing the words of my covenant in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with you. You must treat it as most holy.
37 »Do not make any incense for yourselves using this formula. Treat it as holy to Jehovah.
38 »Anyone who prepares anything like it for his own enjoyment must be excluded from his people.«
