In the Bible, God instructs Moses to create a special holy anointing oil using specific ingredients. This recipe is found in Exodus 30:23-25. Here’s a simplified explanation:

Take the following high-quality spices:

• 500 shekels of liquid myrrh
• 250 shekels of sweet-smelling cinnamon
• 250 shekels of calamus (a fragrant cane)
• 500 shekels of cassia (a spice similar to cinnamon)
• A hin (about a gallon) of olive oil

These ingredients are combined by a skilled perfumer to create a sacred anointing oil. This oil was set apart as holy and used for special purposes in worship and dedication.
