[196] παγκάλη δὲ καὶ ἡ περὶ τὴν σύνθεσιν
τῶν ἐκθυμιωμένων ἐστὶν ἰσότης· λέγεται γάρ· „λάβε σεαυτῷ ἡδύσματα, στακτήν, ὄνυχα καὶ χαλβάνην ἡδυσμοῦ καὶ λίβανον διαφανῆ, ἴσον ἴσῳ, καὶ ποιήσουσιν αὐτὸ θυμίαμα μύρον, μυρεψοῦ ἔργον συνθέσεως καθαρᾶς, ἔργον ἅγιον“ (Exod. 30,34.35). ἕκαστον γὰρ τῶν μερῶν ἑκάστῳ φησὶ δεῖν ἴσον συνέρχεσθαι πρὸς τὴν τοῦ ὅλου κρᾶσιν.

[196] Equality is also very beautifully displayed in respect of the composition of spices for purposes of fumigation; for we read, "Take to thyself sweet odours, stacte, onycha, galbanum, these sweet spices with pure frankincense, all of the most chosen kinds, all of equal weight and thou shalt make of it a perfume, a confection, after the art of the apothecary, a pure composition, a holy work." ¹ For the Lord enjoins here that each of the separate portions shall be equal to each, with a view to the proper composition of the whole.
