Holy Anointing Oil Formula

Exodus 30:22-33

22 Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, 24 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: 25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. 26 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony, 27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense, 28 And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot. 29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy. 30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office. 31 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations. 32 Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you. 33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.

God spoke to Moses about the specific ingredients to be used to create the Holy Anointing Oil and Holy Incense. God, then called by name, two individuals: Bezaleel and Aholiab to build the tabernacle; its furniture, mercy seat, incense altar, candlestick, laver, garments for the priests, anointing oil and incense. These two individuals were filled with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship to complete the tasks as described in Exodus 31. Thus, from the scripture references we can see that God called select individuals to prepare the Holy Anointing Oil. He then gave divine revelation on how to prepare it.

In Exodus 37:29 it appears God taught Bezaleel how to make the Holy Anointing Oil according to the dispensatory in Exodus 30:22. Bezaleel did not have any previous training in the making the Holy Anointing Oil. However, the scripture says it was compounded after the true art of the apothecary. This means that although Bezaleel did not have previous training in this trade, the required knowledge was imparted to him directly by the Spirit of God. The quality of the workmanship was the same as though he had been a master of the trade, and confirmed by apothecary standards. This is how God works. The flesh can not be involved.
