³⁰ And some of the sons of the priests prepared the confection of the spices.

²³ Take thou also unto thee the chief spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred `shekels', and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty,

²⁴ and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.

²⁵ And thou shalt make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

³³ Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.

³⁵ and thou shalt make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure `and' holy:

³⁶ and thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.

³⁷ And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the composition thereof ye shall not make for yourselves: it shall be unto thee holy for Jehovah.

³⁸ Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereof, he shall be cut off from his people.

²⁹ And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer.
