19. Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it:
20. when they enter the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they approach to the altar so as to offer incense to the Lord upon it,
21. otherwise, they may die. This shall be an everlasting law to him, and to his offspring, throughout their successions."
22. And the Lord spoke to Moses,
23. saying: "Take for yourself aromatics: of the first and best myrrh, five hundred shekels, and of cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels; of sweet flag similarly two hundred and fifty,
24. but of cassia, five hundred shekels by the weight of the sanctuary, and of the oil of olives the measure of a hin.
25. And you shall make the holy oil of unction, an ointment composed with the skills of a perfumer,
26. and with it you shall anoint the tabernacle of the testimony, and the ark of the testament,
27. and the table with its vessels, and the lampstand and it utensils, the altars of incense
28. and of holocaust, and all the items that pertain to their rituals.
29. And you shall sanctify everything, and they shall be the Holy of holies. He who will touch them must be sanctified.
30. You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and you shall sanctify them, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.
31. Likewise, you shall say to the sons of Israel: 'This oil of unction will be holy to me throughout your generations.
32. The flesh of man shall not be anointed from it, and you shall not make any similar compound, for it has been sanctified and it shall be holy to you.
33. Whatever man will have composed such a thing and have given it to a stranger, he shall be exterminated from his people.' "
34. And the Lord said to Moses: "Take to yourself aromatics: stacte, and onycha, galbanum of sweet odor, and the clearest frankincense, all these shall be of equal weight.
35. And you shall make incense composed with the skills of a perfumer, diligently mixed, and pure, and most worthy of sanctification.
36. And when you have crushed all these into a very fine powder, you shall place some of it before the tabernacle of the testimony, in the place where I will appear to you. The Holy of holies shall this incense be to you.
37. You shall not make such a compound for your own uses, because it is holy to the Lord.
38. Whatever man will have made anything similar, so as to thoroughly enjoy its smell, he shall perish from his people."
