Read Exodus 30:24 with 30:22–38. Exodus 30:24 marks the unit's continuing step with “And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin,” which must be read through 30:22–38.

Why It Needs Context
Exodus 30:24 marks the unit's continuing step with “And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin,” which must be read through 30:22–38. Its force depends on 30:22–38; detached from “Holy Oil and Incense Are Not Private Products,” the words “And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin” could be mistaken for a complete command, promise, judgment, explanation, or doctrine.
