Exodus 30:31-38 New English Translation (NET)

31. And you are to tell the Israelites: ‘This is to be my sacred anointing oil throughout your generations.

32. It must not be applied to people’s bodies, and you must not make any like it with the same recipe. It is holy, and it must be holy to you.

33. Whoever makes perfume like it and whoever puts any of it on someone not a priest will be cut off from his people.’”

34. The Lord said to Moses: “Take spices, gum resin, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense of equal amounts

35. and make it into an incense, a perfume, the work of a perfumer. It is to be finely ground, and pure and sacred.

36. You are to beat some of it very fine and put some of it before the ark of the testimony in the tent of meeting where I will meet with you; it is to be most holy to you.

37. And the incense that you are to make, you must not make for yourselves using the same recipe; it is to be most holy to you, belonging to the Lord.

38. Whoever makes anything like it, to use as perfume, will be cut off from his people.”
