When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die.
21
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a statute forever to them--to him and his descendants throughout their generations."
22
Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23
"Also take for yourself quality spices--five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane,
24
five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
25
And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil.
26
With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony;
27
the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense;
28
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base.
29
You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them must be holy.
30
And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to Me as priests.
