31 And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations. 32 It shall not be poured on ¹anyone’s body, nor shall you make any like it in ²the same specifications; ^ait is holy, and it shall be holy to you. 33 ^aWhoever shall mix any like it or whoever puts any of it on a ¹layman ²^bshall be cut off from his people.’”

The Incense

34 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Take for yourself fragrances, stacte and onycha and galbanum, fragrances with pure frankincense; there shall be an equal part of each. 35 With it you shall make incense, a perfume, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, and holy. 36 You shall beat some of it very fine, and you shall put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting ^awhere I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you. 37 The incense which you shall make, ^ayou shall not make in ¹the same specifications for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for Yahweh. 38 ^aWhoever shall make any like it, to ¹use as perfume, ²shall be cut off from his people.”
