New Testament

Exodus 30:21-33 Common English Bible (CEB)

21. They must wash their hands and their feet so that they don’t die. This will be a permanent regulation for them, for Aaron and his descendants in every generation.

22. The Lord spoke to Moses:

23. Now take for yourself high-quality spices: five hundred weight of solid myrrh; half as much of sweet-smelling cinnamon, that is, two hundred fifty; two hundred fifty weight of sweet-smelling cane;

24. five hundred of cassia—measured by the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil.

25. Prepare a holy anointing oil, blending them like a skilled perfume maker to produce the holy anointing oil.

26. Use it to anoint the meeting tent, the chest containing the covenant,

27. the table and all its equipment, the lampstand and its equipment, the incense altar,

28. the altar for entirely burned offerings and all its equipment, and the washbasin with its stand.

29. Make them holy so that they may be perfectly holy. Whatever touches them will become holy.

30. Then anoint Aaron and his sons and make them holy to serve me as priests.

31. Say to the Israelites: This will be my holy anointing oil in every generation.

32. Don’t allow anyone else to use this oil. Don’t make another oil like it by using the same formula. This oil is holy, and you should regard it as holy.

33. Whoever blends an oil like it or whoever uses the oil on someone else will be cut off from the people.
