Whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’”
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.

Commenting on Exodus 30:22-38
Whosoever compoundeth any like it,.... For his own use, or for any other than what God appointed it for: or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger; meaning not a Gentile, an alien from the commonwealth of israel; though Japhet interprets it of such a stranger who was not of the children of Israel; this Aben Ezra says is not right, but he says...
Whosoever compoundeth [any] like it, or whosoever putteth [any] of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people. (q) Either a stranger or an Israelite, save only the priests.
