The Incense

34 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take for yourself spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, spices with pure frankincense; there shall be an equal part of each. 35 With it you shall make incense, a perfume, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, and holy. 36 You shall beat some of it very fine, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting (A)where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you. 37 The incense which you shall make, (B)you shall not make in (a)the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for the Lord. 38 (C)Whoever shall make any like it, to (b)use as perfume, (c)shall be cut off from his people.”
