¹⁶ And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is to be responsible for the oil for the light, and the sweet perfumes for burning, and the regular meal offering, and the holy oil; the House and the holy place and everything in it will be in his care.

⁶ Oil for the light, spices for the sweet-smelling oil, sweet perfumes for burning;

² Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,

²³ Take the best spices, five hundred shekels' weight of liquid myrrh, and of sweet cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet calamus,

²⁴ And of cassia, five hundred shekels' weight measured by the scale of the holy place, and of olive oil a hin:

²⁵ And make these into a holy oil, a perfume made by the art of the perfume-maker; it is to be a holy oil.

²⁶ This oil is to be put on the Tent of meeting, and on the ark of the law,

²⁷ And on the table and all its vessels, and on the support for the lights, with its vessels, and on the altar for burning spices,

²⁸ And on the altar of burned offerings with its vessels, and on the washing-vessel and its base.

²⁹ And you are to make them most holy; anything touching them will become holy.

³⁰ And put the oil on Aaron and his sons, making them holy to do the work of priests to me.

³¹ And say to the children of Israel, This is to be the Lord's holy oil, from generation to generation.

³² It is not to be used for man's flesh, and no other is to be made like it: holy it is, and you are to keep it holy.

³³ Whoever makes any like it, or puts it on one who is not a priest, will be cut off from his people.

³⁴ And the Lord said to Moses, Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, with the best frankincense, in equal weights;

³⁵ And make from them a perfume, such as is made by the art of the perfume-maker, mixed with salt, and clean and holy.

³⁶ And put some of it, crushed very small, in front of the ark in the Tent of meeting, where I will come face to face with you; it is to be most holy.

³⁷ You are not to make any perfume like it for yourselves: it is to be kept holy to the Lord.

³⁸ Whoever makes any like it, for its sweet smell, will be cut off from his people.

² Keep watch over the flock of God which is in your care, using your authority, not as forced to do so, but gladly; and not for unclean profit but with a ready mind;

²⁵ Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

⁶ But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.

¹ For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;

⁵ For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

¹ Let us be judged as servants of Christ, and as those who are responsible for the secret things of God.

²⁸ Give attention to yourselves, and to all the flock which the Holy Spirit has given into your care, to give food to the church of God, for which he gave his blood.

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,

³² Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, will be head over all the Levites and overseer of those responsible for the care of the holy place.

²⁰ Anyone touching the flesh of it will be holy: and if any of the blood is dropped on any clothing, the thing on which the blood has been dropped is to be washed in a holy place.

²⁹ And he made the holy oil and the perfume of sweet spices for burning, after the art of the perfume-maker.

¹¹ And the holy oil, and the perfume of sweet spices for the holy place; they will do whatever I have given you orders to have done.

³⁹ One lamb is to be offered in the morning and the other in the evening:

⁴⁰ And with the one lamb, a tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with a fourth part of a hin of clear oil; and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.

⁴¹ And the other lamb is to be offered in the evening, and with it the same meal offering and drink offering, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

²⁰ Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clear olive oil for the lights, so that a light may be burning there at all times.

²¹ Let Aaron and his sons put this in order, evening and morning, before the Lord, inside the Tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the ark; this is to be an order for ever, from generation to generation, to be kept by the children of Israel.
