The Pulpit Commentary on Exodus 37:29

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The holy anointing oil. For the composition of the oil, see Exodus 30:23-25; for the uses whereto it was to be applied, Exodus 30:26-30. The pure incense of sweet spices. The composition of the incense is given in Exodus 30:34, Exodus 30:35. It is there said to have been "a confection after the art of the apothecary—tempered together, pure and holy." The combination of artistic power with practical knowledge in Bezaleel and Ahollab calls to mind cinque-cento Italy, and the wonderful grasp of art and science possessed by Michael Angelo and Benvenuto Cellini
