Exodus 30:31

Israel

29 You are to consecrate them so that they will be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

30 Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve Me as priests.

And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘This will be My sacred anointing oil for the generations to come.

32 It must not be used to anoint an ordinary man, and you must not make anything like it with the same formula. It is holy, and it must be holy to you.

33 Anyone who mixes perfume like it or puts it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’”

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.
