The Song of Songs 4:13-16
4:13 Your shoots are a royal garden full of pomegranates
with choice fruits:
henna with nard,
4:14 nard and saffron;
calamus and cinnamon with every kind of spice,
myrrh and aloes with all the finest spices.
4:15 You are a garden spring,
a well of fresh water flowing down from Lebanon.
The Beloved to Her Lover:
4:16 Awake, O north wind; come, O south wind!
Blow on my garden so that its fragrant spices may send out their sweet smell.
May my beloved come into his garden
and eat its delightful fruit!
John 12:3
12:3 Then Mary took three quarters of a pound
of expensive aromatic oil from pure nard
and anointed the feet of Jesus. She
then wiped his feet dry with her hair. (Now the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfumed oil.)
Philippians 4:18
4:18 For I have received everything, and I have plenty. I have all I need because I received from Epaphroditus what you sent – a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, very pleasing to God.
Revelation 8:3-4
8:3 Another
angel holding
a golden censer
came and was stationed
at the altar. A
large amount of incense was given to him to offer up, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar that is before the throne.
8:4 The
smoke coming from the incense,
along with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.
