Halakhah for Keritot 10:117
ומאן דבעי נעביד עיסקי ובעי דנידע אי מצלח עיסקי אי לא נירבי תרנגולא אי שמין ושפר נידע דמצלח
Sefer HaChinukh
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.
