2. Mosebok 30,38
36 Mal noe av det til pulver og plasser det foran paktens ark i møteteltet, der jeg vil møte deg. Det skal være høyhellig for deg.
37 Ikke lag noen røkelse med denne formelen til personlig bruk; betrakt den som hellig for Herren.
Den som lager røkelse som den for å nyte dens duft, skal skilles fra sitt folk.”
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.
