23“Take the finest spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh,h half that amount (250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon,i 250 shekels of fragrant cane,j 24500 shekels of cassiak — all according to the sanctuary shekel — and a hin of olive oil.l 25Prepare from these a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer; it will be a sacred anointing oil.

26Use this oil to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony, 27the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the altar of incense, 28the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand. 29You are to consecrate them so that they will be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy. 30Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve Me as priests.

31And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘This will be My sacred anointing oil for the generations to come.
