The Anointing-Oil and Incense

22 The Lord spoke to Moses: ²³Take the finest spices: of liquid myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty, and two hundred and fifty of aromatic cane, ²⁴and five hundred of cassia—measured by the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil; ²⁵and you shall make of these a sacred anointing-oil blended as by the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing-oil. ²⁶With it you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the covenant,^{* 27}and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense, ²⁸and the altar of burnt-offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand; ²⁹you shall consecrate them, so that they may be most holy; whatever touches them will become holy. ³⁰You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, in order that they may serve me as priests.
