Principal—Chief

Pure—Not mixed with anything else

These spices were for the purpose of anointing:
The Things of God
The People of God
Anointing Defined: Consecrating or setting apart for God’s use only. That which is anointed is to be used by God only. If you say, “I AM ANOINTED” you are saying that you are set apart for God’s use only.
1 sam.16:3 “And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.”
1 Sam.16:13 “Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.”
Isa.61:1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; Because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to them that are bound;”
This anointed oil was not to be duplicated:
Christ means the “Anointed One”, hence; Jesus the anointed one!

Spices Number 2 “for Sweet Incense”

Ex.30:7 “And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.”

Le.16:12-13 “And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail: And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:”

Rev.8:3 “And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.” ,4 “And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.”

2 Cor.2:15 “For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:”
Amos 5:21 “I hate, I despise your feast days, And I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.”
Isa.1:13 “Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; The new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; It is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.”
