Its taste is extremely bitter; but its smell, though strong, is agreeable; and it entered into the composition of the most costly ointments among the ancients. The epithet deror, rendered pure, properly denotes fluid, from the Arabic darra, to flow; by which is meant the finest and most excellent kind, called stacte, which issues of itself from the bark without incision. cinnamon Kinnamon bosem, odoriferous or spicy cinnamon, is the bark of the canella, a small tree of the size of a willow growing in the island of Ceylon. sweet calamus Kenaih bosem, calamus aromaticus, or odoriferous cane, is a reed growing in Egypt, Syria, and India, about two feet in height, bearing from the root a knotted stalk, quite round, containing in its cavity a soft white pith. It is said to scent the air while growing; and when cut down, dried, and powdered, makes an ingredient in the richest perfumes. cassia Ps 45:8 the shekel Num 3:47; Ezek 45:12 hin Exod 29:40; Lev 19:36; Num 15:5 apothecary or, perfumer, 1Chr 9:30 an holy Exod 37:29; Num 35:25; Ps 89:20, Ps 133:2; Heb 1:9 Exod 40:9-15; Lev 8:10-12; Num 7:1, Num 7:10; Isa 61:1; Acts 10:38; 2Cor 1:21-22; 1John 2:20, 1John 2:27 whatsoever Exod 29:37; Lev 6:18; Matt 23:17, Matt 23:19 anoint Exod 29:7-37, Exod 40:15; Lev 8:12, Lev 8:30; Num 3:3 consecrate Exod 28:3, Exod 29:9, Exod 29:35 an holy Exod 37:29; Lev 8:12, Lev 21:10; Ps 89:20 man's Lev 21:10; Matt 7:6 it is Exod 30:25, Exod 30:37-38 compoundeth Exod 30:38; Luke 12:1-2; Heb 10:26-29 a stranger Exod 29:33 cut off Exod 12:15, Exod 12:19; Gen 17:14; Lev 7:20-21, Lev 17:4, Lev 17:9, Lev 19:8, Lev 23:29; Num 9:13 unto thee Exod 30:23, Exod 25:6, Exod 37:29 stacte Heb. nataph, The Jews and others suppose it to be what was afterwards called the balm of Jericho, or Gilead. onycha The word shechaileth is generally allowed to denote onycha (nail-fish, from its form), as it is rendered by the LXX and Vulgate.

It rises with a ligneous stalk from eight to ten feet, and is garnished with leaves at every joint. The top of the stalk is terminated by an umbel of yellow flowers which are succeeded by oblong channelled seeds, which have a thin membrane or wing on their border. When any part of the plant is broken, there issues out a little thin juice, of a cream colour, of a fat, tough substance, like gum ammoniac, composed of many small, shining grains, of a strong, piercing smell and a sharp, warm taste. frankincense Lev 2:1, Lev 2:15, Lev 5:11, Lev 24:7; 1Chr 9:29-30; Neh 13:5; Song 3:6; Matt 2:11 perfume Prov 27:9; Song 1:3, Song 3:6; John 12:3 after the Exod 30:25 tempered Heb. salted, Lev 2:13 the testimony Exod 16:34 where I will Exod 30:6, Exod 25:22, Exod 29:42-43; Lev 16:2 ye shall Exod 30:32-33 it shall Exod 29:37; Lev 2:3 be cut off Exod 30:33
