Exodus 30:26

24 500 shekels of cassia —all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil.

25 Prepare from these a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer; it will be a sacred anointing oil.

Use this oil to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony,

27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the altar of incense,

28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
