They also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure fragrant incense — the work of a perfumer. The anointing oil and incense — the two proprietary aromatic compounds of the sanctuary — are constructed exactly as Exodus 30:23–35 specified. The chapter that began with the most sacred object (the ark) closes with the most fragrant objects (the oil and incense). From the ark that houses the law to the oil that consecrates and the incense that ascends as prayer — every element of the covenant worship system is completed by Bezalel and the community of Spirit-filled craftsmen.
