Chapter 31

Washing, Herbs, and Oils


1

And the angel of YHVHa spoke unto Moses and Zipporah, saying: Thou shalt be washed, fully immersed in living water, be it by a running stream or with the mikvehb;

2

And this thou shall do to fulfill all righteousnessa; for except that thou born of the waterb, thou cannot enter into the Presencec of Ha’Elohimd; therefore ye shall shall wash with water that ye diee not;

3

And when thou cometh up out of the water, thou shall be clean and the Breatha shall fall upon thee;

4

And this thou shalt do that desire to be holy unto YHVHa and walk in teshuvahb before YHVH, thy Elohimc, and to wear the mantel of righteousnessd.

5

¶ Take unto thee a cup of olive oil, and thou shall place inside this pure myrrha, sweet cinnamonb or cassia, and sweet cane;

6

Thou shall put in equal parts cinnamon or cassia and sweet cane, and as much myrrh as both the cinnamon or cassia and sweet cane;

7

And thou shalt make with it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment mixed after the art of the apothecary; it shall be a holy anointing oil;

8

And this thou shall use to anoint all that shall be anointed unto YHVH, even all that thou shalt sanctify, they shall be most holy;

9

Whatsoever shall be anointed by this oil shall be holy; this shall be used for a holy anointing oil unto YHVH throughout thy generations;

10

But upon the flesh of mankinda, it shall not be poured; neither shall thou make any other like it, after the composition of it; it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.

11

¶ Take unto thee sweet spices: natapha, and shechelethb, and chelbenah galbanumc, and pure frankincensed, each in equal measures;

12

And with this, thou shalt make a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, seasoned with salt and holy;

13

And thou shalt grind some of it into powder and as a testimony where thou would meet YHVH or His malakim; it shall be unto you most holy.

14

And thou shall not make to eat of it, or to place upon mankind; it shall be unto thee holy for YHVH.
