To not make [oil] according to the specification of the anointing oil: To not make the anointing oil, as it is stated (Exodus 30:32), “and you shall not make according to its specification.”
From the roots of the commandment is what we have written in the prohibition of its anointing (Sefer HaChinukh 108). The content of the commandment — [that which] they, may their memory be blessed, said (Keritot 5b), that none of it was ever made besides the one that Moshe made in the wilderness; and they said that a miracle was performed with it, that it is all preserved for the future to come, and [its] blessing replaced that which they expended from it to anoint the tabernacle and its vessels; that one is not liable for its making unless he makes it according to the amount of its spices, and that is the [meaning of the] expression, “specification,” which expresses a calculation, [as] in the calculation of its spices; and the rest of its details — are elucidated in the first chapter of Keritot.
And this commandment of the prohibition of making the oil is practiced in every place and at all times by males and females. And one who transgresses it and made of it volitionally is liable for excision; [and, if] accidentally, a fixed sacrifice.

מִשָּׁרְשֵׁי הַמִּצְוָה. מָה שֶׁכָּתַבְנוּ בְּאִסּוּר מְשִׁיחָתוֹ (במצוה הקודמת). עִנְיַן הַמִּצְוָה, שֶׁאָמְרוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (כריתות ה ב) כִּי מֵעוֹלָם לֹא נַעֲשָׂה מִמֶּנּוּ אֶלָּא אוֹתוֹ שֶׁעָשָׂה מֹשֶׁה בַּמִּדְבָּר, וְאָמְרוּ שֶׁנֵּס נַעֲשָׂה בּוֹ שֶׁכֻּלּוֹ קַיָּם לֶעָתִיד לָבֹא, וּמָה שֶׁהוֹצִיאוּ מִמֶּנּוּ לִמְשִׁיחַת הַמִּשְׁכָּן וְכֵלָיו, הַבְּרָכָה הִשְׁלִימָה. וְשֶׁאֵין חַיָּבִין עַל עֲשִׂיָּתוֹ אֶלָּא כְּשֶׁעֲשָׂאוּהוּ בִּסְכוּם סַמְמָנָיו, וְזֶהוּ לְשׁוֹן בְּמַתְכֻּנְתּוֹ מִלְּשׁוֹן חֶשְׁבּוֹן כְּלוֹמַר, בְּחֶשְׁבּוֹן סַמְמָנָיו, וְיֶתֶר פְּרָטֶיהָ מְבֹאָרִים בְּפֶרֶק רִאשׁוֹן מִכְּרִיתוֹת [שם].
