saying: “Take for yourself aromatics: of the first and best myrrh, five hundred shekels, and of cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels; of sweet flag similarly two hundred and fifty,

but of cassia, five hundred shekels by the weight of the sanctuary, and of the oil of olives the measure of a hin.
