New Testament

Exodus 30:21-32 New International Version (NIV)

21. they shall wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”

22. Then the Lord said to Moses,

23. “Take the following fine spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much (that is, 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant calamus,

24. 500 shekels of cassia—all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil.

25. Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer. It will be the sacred anointing oil.

26. Then use it to anoint the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law,

27. the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,

28. the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.

29. You shall consecrate them so they will be most holy, and whatever touches them will be holy.

30. “Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.

31. Say to the Israelites, ‘This is to be my sacred anointing oil for the generations to come.

32. Do not pour it on anyone else’s body and do not make any other oil using the same formula. It is sacred, and you are to consider it sacred.
