Exodus 30:30-38 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

30. Thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.

31. And thou shalt say to the children of Israel: This oil of unction shall be holy unto me throughout your generations.

32. The flesh of man shall not be anointed therewith, and you shall make none other of the same composition, because it is sanctified, and shall be holy unto you.

33. What man soever shall compound such, and shall give thereof to a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.

34. And the Lord said to Moses: Take unto thee spices, stacte, and onycha, galbanum of sweet savour, and the clearest frankincense, all shall be of equal weight.

35. And thou shalt make incense compounded by the work of the perfumer, well tempered together, and pure, and most worthy of sanctification.

36. And when thou has beaten all into very small powder, thou shalt set of it before the tabernacle of the testimony, in the place where I will appear to thee. Most holy shall this incense be to you.

37. You shall not make such a composition for your own uses, because it is holy to the Lord.

38. What man soever shall make the like, to enjoy the smell thereof, he shall perish out of his people.
