34 The Lord said to Moses: “Take fragrant spices: stacte, onycha, and galbanum; the spices and pure frankincense are to be in equal measures.
35 Prepare expertly blended incense from these; it is to be seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
36 Grind some of it into a fine powder and put some in front of the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with you. It must be especially holy to you.
37 As for the incense you are making, you must not make any for yourselves using its formula. It is to be regarded by you as sacred to the Lord.
38 Anyone who makes something like it to smell its fragrance must be cut off from his people.”
