Exodus 30:34-38

New Catholic Bible

³⁴ The Incense. The Lord said to Moses, “Gather sweet spices, gum of stacte, onycha, resin of galbanum, equal measures of sweet spices and pure frankincense, ³⁵ and make an incense using the skill of the perfumer. It is to be salted, pure and holy. ³⁶ Beat some of it very fine and put it before the Testimony in the meeting tent where I shall meet with you. It shall be most holy to you.

³⁷ “You shall not make for yourselves anything like this incense according to its composition. You shall consider it to be holy to the Lord. ³⁸ Whoever makes anything like it to use for its sweet odor shall be cut off from his people.”
