26. "Then anoint the Tent of Meeting and the ark where the tablets of the covenant are kept.

27. Anoint the table for the holy bread and all of its articles. Anoint the lampstand and the things that are used with it. Anoint the altar for burning incense.

28. Anoint the altar for burnt offerings and all of its tools. And anoint the large bowl together with its stand.

29. You must set them apart so that they will be very holy. Anything that touches them will be holy.

30. "Anoint Aaron and his sons. Set them apart so that they can serve me as priests.

31. "Say to the people of Israel, 'This will be my sacred anointing oil for all time to come.

32. Do not pour it on the bodies of any other men. Do not make any other oil in the same way. It is sacred. So you must think of it as sacred.

33. Anyone who makes perfume in the same way and puts it on someone who is not a priest must be cut off from his people.' "

34. Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said, "Get some sweet-smelling spices. Get some gum resin, onycha and galbanum. Also get some pure frankincense. Make sure everything is in equal amounts.
