Mose

The Holy Incense

The Lord gave Moses the recipe for a holy incense made of stacte, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense in equal parts, prepared as a salted and pure spice mixture. It is to be placed before the testimony in the tent of meeting and must be most holy. Anyone who makes similar incense for their own use shall be cut off from the people.

Andra Moseboken 30,34-38

34The LORD said to Moses, "Take fragrant spices—stacte, onycha, and galbanum—these spices with pure frankincense, in equal amounts.
וַיֹּאמֶר֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֜ה קַח־לְךָ֣ סַמִּ֗ים נָטָ֤ף ׀ וּשְׁחֵ֙לֶת֙ וְחֶלְבְּנָ֔ה סַמִּ֖ים וּלְבֹנָ֣ה זַכָּ֑ה בַּ֥ד בְּבַ֖ד יִהְיֶֽה׃ ‬
35Make of them an incense blended as by a perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
וְעָשִׂ֤יתָ אֹתָהּ֙ קְטֹ֔רֶת רֹ֖קַח מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה רוֹקֵ֑חַ מְמֻלָּ֖ח טָה֥וֹר קֹֽדֶשׁ׃ ‬
36Grind some of it fine and place it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you.
וְשָֽׁחַקְתָּ֣ מִמֶּנָּה֮ הָדֵק֒ וְנָתַתָּ֨ה מִמֶּ֜‪[t]‬נָּה לִפְנֵ֤י הָעֵדֻת֙ בְּאֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד אֲשֶׁ֛ר אִוָּעֵ֥ד לְךָ֖ שָׁ֑מָּה קֹ֥דֶשׁ קֽ͏ָדָשִׁ֖ים תִּהְיֶ֥ה לָכֶֽם׃ ‬
37As for the incense you make, do not make any for yourselves with the same formula; it shall be holy to you, reserved for the LORD.
וְהַקְּטֹ֙רֶת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תַּעֲשֶׂ֔ה בְּמַ֨תְכֻּנְתָּ֔הּ לֹ֥א תַעֲשׂ֖וּ לָכֶ֑ם קֹ֛דֶשׁ תִּהְיֶ֥ה לְךָ֖ לַיהוָֽה׃ ‬
38Whoever makes anything like it to enjoy its fragrance shall be cut off from his people."
אִ֛ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה כָמ֖וֹהָ לְהָרִ֣יחַ בָּ֑הּ וְנִכְרַ֖ת מֵעַמָּֽיו׃ ס ‬
