SCRIPTURE

"and the spice, and the oil; for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense." — Exodus 35:28 (ASV)

And spice and oil
Such excellent spices and precious oil, pure oil olive, as the common people had not, and which they brought out of Egypt; the one was

for the light :
for the light of the candlestick only; the oil, and other spices,

were for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense ;
the spices for the former were pure myrrh, sweet cinnamon, sweet calamus and cassia; and for the latter, stacte, onycha, galbanum, with pure frankincense.
