Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 32 - Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured - i.e., "it shall not be used by any privately as a mere unguent, but shall be reserved wholly for sacred purposes." Neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it. Rather, "after its proportion." The Israelites were not forbidden the use of the different materials in their unguents, or even the combination of the same materials, provided they varied the proportions. The object is simply that the holy oil should remain a thing separate and apart, never applied to any but a holy use.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(32) Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured--i.e., it shall not be in ordinary use as an unguent--a mere "man," who is not a priest, shall not apply it to his private use. It shall be reserved altogether for holy purposes.Neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it--i.e., after the recipe given in Exodus 30:23-25. The ingredients might be used in unguents separately--they might even be so used when united in some different proportions from those laid down for the "holy ointment"--but in the proportions fixed for the holy oil they must have no secular employment.
