And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: take
principal spices: of pure myrrh five hundred sicles, of sweet cinnamon
half so much, two hundred and fifty sicles: of sweet calamite, two
hundred and fifty. Of cassia, two hundred and fifty after the holy
sicle, and of oil olive an hin. And make of them holy anointing oil
even an oil compound after the craft of the apothecary. And anoint the
tabernacle of witness therewith, and the ark of witness, and the table
with all his apparel, and the candlestick with all his ordinance, and
the altar of incense, and the altar of burnt sacrifice and all his
vessels, and the laver and his foot. And sacrify them that they may be
most holy: so that no man twich them but they that be hallowed. And
anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to minister unto me. And
thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel saying: this shall be an
holy anointing oil unto me, thorowout your generations. No man's flesh
shall be anointed therewith: neither shall ye make any other after the
making of it for it is holy, see therefore that ye take it for holy:
Whosoever maketh like that, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a
stranger, shall perish from among his people. And the LORD said unto
Moses: take unto thee sweet spices: stacte, onycha, sweet galbanum and
pure frankincense, of each like much: and make cense of them compounded
after the craft of the apothecary, mingled together, that it may be
made pure and holy. And beat it to powder and put it before the witness
in the tabernacle of witness, where I will meet thee, but let it be
unto you holy. And see that ye make none after the making of that, but
let it be unto you holy for the LORD. And whosoever shall make like
unto that, to smell thereto, shall perish from among his people.
