Exodus 30:22-30

Exodus 30:22-30 NCV

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Take the finest spices: twelve pounds of liquid myrrh, half that amount (that is, six pounds) of sweet-smelling cinnamon, six pounds of sweet-smelling cane, and twelve pounds of cassia. Weigh all these by the Holy Place measure. Also take four quarts of olive oil, and mix all these things like a perfume to make a holy olive oil. This special oil must be put on people and things to make them ready for service to God. Put this oil on the Meeting Tent and the Ark of the Agreement, on the table and all its dishes, on the lampstand and all its tools, and on the incense altar. Also, put the oil on the altar for burnt offerings and on all its tools, as well as on the bowl and the stand under the bowl. You will prepare all these things for service to God, and they will be very holy. Anything that touches these things must be holy. “Put the oil on Aaron and his sons to give them for service to me, that they may serve me as priests.
