Genesis 37:25

37:25

sat <03427> [they sat.]

Ishmaelites <03459> [Ishmeelites.]

Gilead <01568> [Gilead.]

spices <05219> [spicery.]

{Nechoth,} is rendered by the LXX. "incense;" Syriac, "resin;" Samaritan, "balsam;" Acquila, "storax;" which is followed by Bochart. This drug is abundant in Syria, and here Moses joins with it resin, honey, and myrrh; which agrees with the nature of the storax, which is the resin of a tree of the same name, of a reddish colour, and peculiarly pleasant fragrance.

balm <06875> [balm]

{Tzeri,} which in Arabic, as a verb, is to flow, seems to be a common name, as balm or balsam with us, for many of those oily, resinous substances, which flow spontaneously, or by incision, from various trees or plants; accordingly the ancients have generally interpreted it resin.

myrrh <03910> [myrrh.]

{Lot,} is probably, as Junius, De Dieu, Celsius, and Ursinus contend, the same as the Arabic {ladan}, Greek [ladanon,] and Latin {ladanum}.


Jeremiah 8:22

8:22

medicinal ointment <06875> [no balm.]

physician <07495> [no physician.]

<03588> [why.]

<05927> [recovered. Heb. gone up.]


Ezekiel 27:15

27:15

Dedanites <01719> [Dedan.]

ivory <08127> [of ivory.]
