The Anointing Oil

22 Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

22:

23 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],

23:

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

24:

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.

25:

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

26:

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

27:

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

28:

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

29:

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

30:

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

31:

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, [and] it shall be holy unto you.

32:

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

33:
