The Anointing Oil

Exodus 30:22-33

30
Chapter 30
22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying. 23 And you, take for yourself perfumes: head of myrrh flowing, five hundred shekels; and cinnamon perfume, its half—two hundred fifty; and cane perfume, two hundred fifty. 24 and perfumed oil, five hundred by the shekel of the sanctuary, and olive oil, a hin. 25 And you shall make it an oil of anointing, holy, a perfume, a perfumer's compound, the work of a perfumer; it shall be an oil of anointing, holy. 26 And you shall anoint with it the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony. 27 and the table and all its utensils and the menorah and its utensils and the altar of the incense. 28 and the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils and the laver and its stand. 29 And you shall consecrate them, and they will be most holy; everyone who touches them will be consecrated. 30 And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and you shall consecrate them to serve me as priests. 31 And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, "This shall be my holy anointing oil for your generations." 32 It shall not be poured on human flesh, and you shall not make anything like its compound; it is holy, and it shall be holy to you. 33 Whoever compounds it like it or gives some of it to a stranger—he will be cut off from his people.
