Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Then the LORD said to Moses,

Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,

“Take the finest spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half that amount (250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant cane,

And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:

500 shekels of cassia—all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil.

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.

Prepare from these a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer; it will be a sacred anointing oil.

And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,

Use this oil to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony,

And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,

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

And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.

the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.

And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.

You are to consecrate them so that they will be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office.

Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve Me as priests.

And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.

And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘This will be My sacred anointing oil for the generations to come.

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, and it shall be holy unto you.

It must not be used to anoint an ordinary man, and you must not make anything like it with the same formula. It is holy, and it must be holy to you.

Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.

Anyone who mixes perfume like it or puts it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’”
