1992 verses about Holiness

“Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;

and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.

You shall make it into a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,

the table and all its articles, the lamp stand and its accessories, the altar of incense,

the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.

You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.

You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.

It shall not be poured on man’s flesh, and do not make any like it, according to its composition. It is holy. It shall be holy to you.

Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.’”

Yahweh said to Moses, “Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: there shall be an equal weight of each;

and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:

and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.

The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.

Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.”

the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,

the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,

the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest—the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office,

the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”

Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up among you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.’”

Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart from the Tent.

When Moses was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.
