Exodus 30:23-33
30:23 “Take
choice spices:
twelve and a half pounds
of free-flowing myrrh,
half that – about six and a quarter pounds – of sweet-smelling cinnamon, six and a quarter pounds of sweet-smelling cane,
30:24 and twelve and a half pounds of cassia, all weighed
according to the sanctuary shekel, and four quarts
of olive oil.
30:25 You are to make this
into
a sacred anointing oil, a perfumed compound,
the work of a perfumer. It will be sacred anointing oil.
30:26 “With it you are to anoint the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony,
30:27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the altar of incense,
30:28 the altar for the burnt offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its base.
30:29 So you are to sanctify them, and they will be most holy; anything that touches them will be holy.
30:30 “You are to anoint Aaron and his sons and sanctify them, so that they may minister as my priests.
30:31 And you are to tell the Israelites: ‘This is to be my sacred anointing oil throughout your generations.
30:32 It must not be applied to people’s bodies, and you must not make any like it with the same recipe. It is holy, and it must be holy to you.
30:33 Whoever makes perfume like it and whoever puts any of it on someone not a priest will be cut off from his people.’”
Psalms 89:20
89:20 I have discovered David, my servant.
With my holy oil I have anointed him as king.
