30:22    The LORD said to Moses,

30:23    “Take the finest spices—12 pounds of liquid myrrh, 6 pounds of sweet-smelling cinnamon, 6 pounds of sweet-smelling cane,

30:24    and 12 pounds of cassia (all weighed according to the official standard). Add one gallon of olive oil,

30:25    and make a sacred anointing oil, mixed like perfume.

30:26    Use it to anoint the tent of My Presence, the Covenant Box,

30:27    the table and all its equipment, the lampstand and its equipment, the altar for burning incense,

30:28    the altar for burning offerings, together with all its equipment, and the wash-basin with its base.

30:29    Dedicate these things in this way, and they will be completely holy, and anyone or anything that touches them will be harmed by the power of its holiness.

30:30    Then anoint Aaron and his sons, and ordain the as priests in My service.

30:31    Say to the people of Israel, ‘This holy anointing oil is to be used in My service in all time to come.

30:32    It must not be poured on ordinary men, and you must not use the same formula to make any mixture like it. It is holy , and you must treat it as holy.

30:33    Whoever makes any like it or uses any of it on anyone who is not a priest will no longer be considered one of My people.’”
