Exodus 30 — Context

You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.

It shall not be poured on man's flesh, neither shall you make any like it, according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be holy to you.

Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'"

Yahweh said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be an equal weight;

and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:

and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.

The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.
