Moreouer the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Take thou also vnto thee principall spices, of pure myrrhe fiue hundred shekels, and of sweet cinamon halfe so much, euen two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fiftie shekels,

And of Cassia fiue hundred shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuary, and of oyle oliue an Hin.

And thou shalt make it an oyle of holy oyntment, an oyntment compound after the arte of the Apothecarie: it shalbe an holy anointing oyle.

And thou shalt anoint the Tabernacle of the Congregation therewith, and the Arke of the Testimonie:

And the Table and all his vessels, and the Candlesticke, and his vessels, and the Altar of incense:

And the Altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the Lauer and his foot.

And thou shalt sanctifie them, that they may bee most holy: whatsoeuer toucheth them, shall be holy.

And thou shalt annoint Aaron and his sonnes, and consecrate them, that they may minister vnto mee in the priests office.

And thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, This shall bee an holy anointing oile vnto mee, throughout your generations.

Upon mans flesh shall it not bee powred, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy vnto you.

Whosoeuer compoundeth any like it, or whosoeuer putteth any of it vpon a stranger, shall euen be cut off from his people.
