EXODUS 30:37 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the Lord.”
Do not make any incense with this formula for yourselves; consider it holy to the Lord. The prohibition on personal incense mirrors the prohibition on personal anointing oil: the sacred formula cannot be used for personal pleasure or private worship. The incense that fills the Holy Place is exclusively for the Lord's sanctuary. The fragrance of the covenant meeting cannot be domesticated or privatized — it belongs to the space where God and His servant meet, and nowhere else.
