Exodus 30:33-38

33 Whoever blends an oil like it or whoever uses the oil on someone else will be cut off from the people.

34 The LORD said to Moses: Take an equal amount of each of these spices: gum resin, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense.

35 Like a skilled perfume maker, carefully blend them together and make incense, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.

36 Beat some of it into a fine powder and put part of it in front of the covenant document in the meeting tent where I will meet with you. You should regard it as perfectly holy.

37 When you make incense according to this formula, you shouldn't make any of it for your own use. You should regard it as holy to the LORD.

38 Whoever makes incense with this same formula to enjoy its fragrance will be cut off from the people.
