Exodus 30:22-38

EXODUS—NOTE ON Exodus 30:22 This section gives instructions for making the anointing oil and incense. Since the oil is to consecrate the elements of the tabernacle and the priests, and the incense is to be burned inside the Holy Place, each is to be treated as holy and must not be used for any other purpose.
