Exodus Chapter 26 the Institution of the
Tabernacle: the curtains, the frames, the curtains
The inner veil separated
the HOLY PLACE (which contained the Altar of Incense, the lampstand, and the
table for the bread)from the Most Holy Place or of Holies (which contained the
Ark and the atonement cover or Mercy Seat). Josephus reported that the veil was
four inches think, was renewed every year, and that horses tied to each side
could not pull it apart. It barred all but the High Priest from the presence of
God, but when it was torn in two at the death of Jesus of Nazareth (Mark15:38),
access to God was made available to all who come through Him
(Hev.10:19-22)
1 Moreover thou shalt make the
tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and
scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.
2 The length of one curtain shall be
eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every
one of the curtains shall have one measure.
3 The five curtains shall be coupled
together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to
another.
4 And thou shalt make loops of blue
upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and
likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain, in the coupling
of the second.
5 Fifty loops shalt thou make in the
one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is
in the coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of another.
6 And thou shalt make fifty taches
of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one
tabernacle.
7 And thou shalt make curtains of
goats' hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou
make.
8 The length of one curtain shall be
thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven
curtains shall be all of one measure.
9 And thou shalt couple five
curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the
sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle.
10 And thou shalt make fifty loops
on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops
in the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
11 And thou shalt make fifty taches
of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together, that
it may be one.
12 And the remnant that remaineth of
the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the
backside of the tabernacle.
13 And a cubit on the one side, and
a cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains
of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on
that side, to cover it.
14 And thou shalt make a covering
for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers' skins.
15 And thou shalt make boards for
the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up.
16 Ten cubits shall be the length of
a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board.
17 Two tenons shall there be in one
board, set in order one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the
boards of the tabernacle.
18 And thou shalt make the boards
for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward.
19 And thou shalt make forty sockets
of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two
tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
20 And for the second side of the
tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:
21 And their forty sockets of
silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
22 And for the sides of the
tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.
23 And two boards shalt thou make
for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
24 And they shall be coupled
together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto
one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.
25 And they shall be eight boards,
and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and
two sockets under another board.
26 And thou shalt make bars of
shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
27 And five bars for the boards of
the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of
the tabernacle, for the two sides westward.
28 And the middle bar in the midst
of the boards shall reach from end to end.
29 And thou shalt overlay the boards
with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and thou shalt
overlay the bars with gold.
30 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle
according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.
31
And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:
32
And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold:
their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.
33
And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in
thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide
unto you between the holy place and the most holy.
34
And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most
holy place.
35
And thou shalt set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over against
the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put
the table on the north side.
36
And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple,
and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.
37
And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay
them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold: and thou shalt cast five
sockets of brass for them.
Chapter 27 The bronze altar, the courtyard, the
oil
The altar was made of wood covered with bronze
(to make it lightweight for transporting and yet fireproof). The sacrifices
were made on it. horns. Used to bind the sacrificial animals to the altar
(Psalm118:27). The courtyard of the tabernacle measured 150’ x 75’ and was
screened with linen curtains 7 ½’ high. The tabernacle itself took up only
about one-fifteenth of this area. “The oil obtained from olives that were
pressed rather than crushed would be of finer quality, burning more brightly
and with less smoke.
1 And thou shalt make an altar of
shittim wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be
foursquare: and the height thereof shall be three cubits.
2 And thou shalt make the horns of
it upon the four corners thereof: his horns shall be of the same: and thou
shalt overlay it with brass.
3 And thou shalt make his pans to
receive his ashes, and his shovels, and his basons, and his fleshhooks, and his
firepans: all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass.
4 And thou shalt make for it a grate
of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings in the
four corners thereof.
5 And thou shalt put it under the
compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the
altar.
6 And thou shalt make staves for the
altar, staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with brass.
7 And the staves shall be put into
the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to bear it.
8 Hollow with boards shalt thou make
it: as it was shewed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.
9 And thou shalt make the court of
the tabernacle: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the
court of fine twined linen of an hundred cubits long for one side:
10 And the twenty pillars thereof
and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their
fillets shall be of silver.
11 And likewise for the north side
in length there shall be hangings of an hundred cubits long, and his twenty
pillars and their twenty sockets of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their
fillets of silver.
12 And for the breadth of the court
on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits: their pillars ten, and
their sockets ten.
13 And the breadth of the court on
the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of one side of the
gate shall be fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 And on the other side shall be
hangings fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16 And for the gate of the court
shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and
fine twined linen, wrought with needlework: and their pillars shall be four,
and their sockets four.
17 All the pillars round about the
court shall be filleted with silver; their hooks shall be of silver, and their
sockets of brass.
18 The length of the court shall be
an hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty every where, and the height five
cubits of fine twined linen, and their sockets of brass.
19 All the vessels of the tabernacle
in all the service thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the
court, shall be of brass.
20 And thou shalt command the
children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light,
to cause the lamp to burn always.
21 In the tabernacle of the
congregation without the vail, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his
sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a
statute for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of
Israel.
Chapter 28 The priests’ garments
Sacred means “separated”. The ephod was a beautiful, two-piece,
sleeveless garment, held to the body by a skillfully woven waistband (v.8) and
joined at the shoulders by straps. On the straps were placed two onyx stones
(possibly emeralds), with the names of six tribes on each stone. Breastpiece
for making decisions. A square piece of beautiful material, folded in half and
open at the top like a pouch, and placed over the front of the ephod. It was
adorned with 12 precious stones (in four rows), on which were engraved the
names of the 12 tribes. “Urim and
Thummim”. Possible two precious stones, which were put inside the pouch. They
may have been used, like lots, to determine God’s will. “Robe of the ephod.” A
violet –colored robe worn under the ephod. It reached a little below the knees
and had bells on its hem. When the High Priest made an offering in the Holy
Place, where he was not visible to the people, the bells enabled them to know
he was still alive. “ On the turban was a gold plate with HOLY TO THE LORD
engraved on it. The High Priest’s official holiness enabled him to present the
imperfect offerings (sacred gifts) to God acceptably.
1 And take thou unto thee Aaron thy
brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may
minister unto me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar
and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
2 And thou shalt make holy garments
for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
3 And thou shalt speak unto all that
are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may
make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the
priest's office.
4 And these are the garments which
they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat,
a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother,
and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
5 And they shall take gold, and
blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.
6 And they shall make the ephod of
gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning
work.
7 It shall have the two
shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and so it shall be
joined together.
8 And the curious girdle of the
ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof;
even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 And thou shalt take two onyx
stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10 Six of their names on one stone,
and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their
birth.
11 With the work of an engraver in
stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with
the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches
of gold.
12 And thou shalt put the two stones
upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of
Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders
for a memorial.
13 And thou shalt make ouches of
gold;
14 And two chains of pure gold at
the ends; of wreathen work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains
to the ouches.
15 And thou shalt make the
breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou
shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine
twined linen, shalt thou make it.
16 Foursquare it shall be being
doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth
thereof.
17 And thou shalt set in it settings
of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz,
and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.
18 And the second row shall be an
emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19 And the third row a ligure, an
agate, and an amethyst.
20 And the fourth row a beryl, and
an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
21 And the stones shall be with the
names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the
engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the
twelve tribes.
22 And thou shalt make upon the
breastplate chains at the ends of wreathen work of pure gold.
23 And thou shalt make upon the
breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of
the breastplate.
24 And thou shalt put the two
wreathen chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the
breastplate.
25 And the other two ends of the two
wreathen chains thou shalt fasten in the two ouches, and put them on the
shoulderpieces of the ephod before it.
26 And thou shalt make two rings of
gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the
border thereof, which is in the side of the ephod inward.
27 And two other rings of gold thou
shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward
the forepart thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the
curious girdle of the ephod.
28 And they shall bind the
breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of
blue, that it may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the
breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
29 And Aaron shall bear the names of
the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he
goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually.
30 And thou shalt put in the
breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon
Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the
judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.
31 And thou shalt make the robe of
the ephod all of blue.
32 And there shall be an hole in the
top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round
about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.
33 And beneath upon the hem of it
thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round
about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
34 A golden bell and a pomegranate,
a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.
35 And it shall be upon Aaron to
minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place
before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.
36 And thou shalt make a plate of
pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE
LORD.
37 And thou shalt put it on a blue
lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall
be.
38 And it shall be upon Aaron's
forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the
children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always
upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.
39 And thou shalt embroider the coat
of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make
the girdle of needlework.
40 And for Aaron's sons thou shalt
make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make
for them, for glory and for beauty.
41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron
thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them,
and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
42 And thou shalt make them linen
breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they
shall reach:
43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and
upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or
when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they
bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his
seed after him.
Chapter 29 The Priests’ consecration
These verses describe the
installation of the priests, which included washing, anointing, clothing, and
offering sacrifices. The priests’ ears (symbolizing obedience to God, Ex.21:6),
thumbs and toes (symbolizing work for God) were specially dedicated to God
(29:20). The ceremonies lasted seven days (v.35)
1 And this is the
thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto me in the
priest's office: Take one young bullock, and two rams without blemish,
2 And unleavened
bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed
with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them.
3 And thou shalt put
them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the
two rams.
4 And Aaron and his
sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and
shalt wash them with water.
5 And thou shalt take
the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the
ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:
6 And thou shalt put
the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.
7 Then shalt thou take
the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
8 And thou shalt bring
his sons, and put coats upon them.
9 And thou shalt gird
them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them: and the
priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt
consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10 And thou shalt
cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and
Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock.
11 And thou shalt kill
the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
12 And thou shalt take
of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy
finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.
13 And thou shalt take
all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is above the liver,
and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the
altar.
14 But the flesh of
the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the
camp: it is a sin offering.
15 Thou shalt also
take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the
ram.
16 And thou shalt slay
the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the
altar.
17 And thou shalt cut
the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto
his pieces, and unto his head.
18 And thou shalt burn
the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a
sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
19 And thou shalt take
the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of
the ram.
20 Then shalt thou
kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear
of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of
their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the
blood upon the altar round about.
21 And thou shalt take
of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it
upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of
his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons,
and his sons' garments with him.
22 Also thou shalt
take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,
and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon
them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of consecration:
23 And one loaf of
bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the
unleavened bread that is before the LORD:
24 And thou shalt put
all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them
for a wave offering before the LORD.
25 And thou shalt
receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering,
for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire unto the
LORD.
26 And thou shalt take
the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it for a wave offering
before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.
27 And thou shalt
sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave
offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the
consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his
sons:
28 And it shall be
Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it
is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of
Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering
unto the LORD.
29 And the holy
garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to
be consecrated in them.
30 And that son that
is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the
tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place.
31 And thou shalt take
the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place.
32 And Aaron and his
sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
33 And they shall eat
those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify
them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.
34 And if ought of the
flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou
shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
35 And thus shalt thou
do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded
thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
36 And thou shalt
offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt
cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt
anoint it, to sanctify it.
37 Seven days thou
shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an
altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.
38 Now this is that
which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day
continually.
39 The one lamb thou
shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
40 And with the one
lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten
oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
41 And the other lamb
thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering
of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet
savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
42 This shall be a
continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak
there unto thee.
43 And there I will
meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my
glory.
44 And I will sanctify
the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both
Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office.
45 And I will dwell
among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
46 And they shall know
that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,
that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.
Chapter 30 The altar of incense, The atonement
money, The basin, The anointing oil. The incense
The altar of incense stood before the curtain that shut off the Most
Holy Place or Holy of Holies. Incense was burned on it morning and evening when
the priest tended to the lamp. Ex.30:34-38 describes the composition of the
incense. Every male twenty years and older was required to pay a ransom on
being formally enrolled among God’s people. A shekel weighed about 224 grains
or one-half ounce. The silver collected was used in making the sockets, hooks,
and rods. (38:25-28; Neh.10:32 and Matt.17:24-27 regarding this same tax.
1 And thou shalt make
an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.
2 A cubit shall be the
length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and
two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.
3 And thou shalt
overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about,
and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.
4 And two golden rings
shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon
the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the
staves to bear it withal.
5 And thou shalt make
the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
6 And thou shalt put
it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat
that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
7 And Aaron shall burn
thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn
incense upon it.
8 And when Aaron
lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense
before the LORD throughout your generations.
9 Ye shall offer no
strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall
ye pour drink offering thereon.
10 And Aaron shall
make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin
offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it
throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.
11 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
12 When thou takest
the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every
man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there
be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
13 This they shall
give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after
the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall
be the offering of the LORD.
14 Every one that
passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall
give an offering unto the LORD.
15 The rich shall not
give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give
an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
16 And thou shalt take
the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the
service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto
the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
17 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
18 Thou shalt also
make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt
put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt
put water therein.
19 For Aaron and his
sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
20 When they go into
the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die
not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by
fire unto the LORD:
21 So they shall wash
their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for
ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
22 Moreover the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Take thou also unto
thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet
cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus
two hundred and fifty shekels,
24 And of cassia five
hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
25 And thou shalt make
it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the
apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.
26 And thou shalt
anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the
testimony,
27 And the table and
all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
28 And the altar of
burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
29 And thou shalt
sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be
holy.
30 And thou shalt
anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me
in the priest's office.
31 And thou shalt
speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil
unto me throughout your generations.
32 Upon man's flesh
shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the
composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
33 Whosoever
compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall
even be cut off from his people.
34 And the LORD said
unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum;
these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like
weight:
35 And thou shalt make
it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together,
pure and holy:
36 And thou shalt beat
some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of
the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
37 And as for the
perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the
composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD.
38 Whosoever shall
make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
