Exodus 30:20-38

[20] When they go  into the tabernacle  of the congregation,  they shall wash  with water,  that they die  not; or when they come near  to the altar  to minister,  to burn offering  made by fire  unto the LORD:  [21] So they shall wash  their hands  and their feet,  that they die  not: and it shall be a statute  for ever  to them, even to him and to his seed  throughout their generations.  [22] Moreover the LORD  spake  unto Moses,  saying,  [23] Take  thou also unto thee principal  spices,  of pure  myrrh  five  hundred  shekels, and of sweet  cinnamon  half  even two hundred  and fifty  shekels, and of sweet  calamus  two hundred  and fifty  shekels, [24] And of cassia  five  hundred  shekels, after the shekel  of the sanctuary,  and of oil  olive  an hin:  [25] And thou shalt make  it an oil  of holy  ointment,  an ointment  compound  after the art  of the apothecary:  it shall be an holy  anointing  oil.  [26] And thou shalt anoint  the tabernacle  of the congregation  therewith, and the ark  of the testimony,  [27] And the table  and all his vessels,  and the candlestick  and his vessels,  and the altar  of incense,  [28] And the altar  of burnt offering  with all his vessels,  and the laver  and his foot.  [29] And thou shalt sanctify  them, that they may be most  whatsoever toucheth  them shall be holy.  [30] And thou shalt anoint  Aaron  and his sons,  and consecrate  them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.  [31] And thou shalt speak  unto the children  of Israel,  saying,  This shall be an holy  anointing  oil  unto me throughout your generations.  [32] Upon man's  flesh  shall it not be poured,  neither shall ye make  any other like it, after the composition  of it: it is holy,  unto you. [33] Whosoever  compoundeth  any like it, or whosoever putteth  any of it upon a stranger,  shall even be cut  off from his people.  [34] And the LORD  said  unto Moses,  Take  unto thee sweet spices,  stacte,  and onycha,  and galbanum;  these sweet  with pure  frankincense:  of each  weight: [35] And thou shalt make  it a perfume,  a confection  after the art  of the apothecary,  tempered  together, pure  and holy:  [36] 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  [37] And as for the perfume  which thou shalt make,  to yourselves according to the composition  thereof: it shall be unto thee holy  for the LORD.  [38] Whosoever  shall make  like unto that, to smell  thereto, shall even be cut off  from his people.
