Then the LORD said to Moses,
God Himself appointed the spices and their quantities because nothing comes to Him but what comes from Him; the oil was compounded with exact art, infused, strained, and left sweetly fragrant for the tent and all its furniture, and for consecrating the priests in their generations.

Moreover, the Lord spake unto Moses,.... Some little time afterwards, while he was yet with him on the mount: saying; as follows.
Four spices of the highest quality, liquid myrrh, cinnamon, fragrant cane, and cassia, were proportioned with precision: 500 shekels of myrrh, half that each of cinnamon, cane, and cassia, mixed with one hin of oil. The dry spices were softened in water and boiled to extract their essence, then mingled with oil and myrrh, and boiled again until all moisture evaporated.
