“ Collect choice spices— 12 1/2 pounds of pure myrrh, 6 1/4 pounds of fragrant cinnamon, 6 1/4 pounds of fragrant calamus,and 12 1/2 pounds of cassia— as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel. Also get one gallon of olive oil.Like a skilled incense maker, blend these ingredients to make a holy anointing oil.
Using the usual techniques of the incense maker, blend the spices together and sprinkle them with salt to produce a pure and holy incense.Grind some of the mixture into a very fine powder and put it in front of the Ark of the Covenant, where I will meet with you in the Tabernacle. You must treat this incense as most holy.Never use this formula to make this incense for yourselves. It is reserved for the Lord, and you must treat it as holy.Anyone who makes incense like this for personal use will be cut off from the community.”
