Exodus 30:32-38 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

32. The flesh of man shall not be anointed from it, and you shall not make any similar compound, for it has been sanctified and it shall be holy to you.

33. Whatever man will have composed such a thing and have given it to a stranger, he shall be exterminated from his people.' "

34. And the Lord said to Moses: "Take to yourself aromatics: stacte, and onycha, galbanum of sweet odor, and the clearest frankincense, all these shall be of equal weight.

35. And you shall make incense composed with the skills of a perfumer, diligently mixed, and pure, and most worthy of sanctification.

36. And when you have crushed all these into a very fine powder, you shall place some of it before the tabernacle of the testimony, in the place where I will appear to you. The Holy of holies shall this incense be to you.

37. You shall not make such a compound for your own uses, because it is holy to the Lord.

38. Whatever man will have made anything similar, so as to thoroughly enjoy its smell, he shall perish from his people."
