"You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. And you shall put water in it,
19
for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it.
20
When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die.
21
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a statute forever to them--to him and his descendants throughout their generations."
22
Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23
"Also take for yourself quality spices--five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane,
24
five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
25
And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil.
26
With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony;
27
the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense;
28
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base.
29
You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them must be holy.
30
And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to Me as priests.
31
And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations.
32
It shall not be poured on man's flesh; nor shall you make any other like it, according to its composition. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you.
33
Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on an outsider, shall be cut off from his people.' "
34
And the Lord said to Moses: "Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, and pure frankincense with these sweet spices; there shall be equal amounts of each.
35
You shall make of these an incense, a compound according to the art of the perfumer, salted, pure, and holy.
36
And you shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Testimony in the tabernacle of meeting where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you.
37
But as for the incense which you shall make, you shall not make any for yourselves, according to its composition. It shall be to you holy for the Lord.
38
Whoever makes any like it, to smell it, he shall be cut off from his people."
