Reference: Ointments

American

Were much used by the ancient Hebrews, not chiefly for medical purposes as among us, but as a luxury, Ru 3:3; Ps 104:15; Song 1:2; Mt 6:17; Lu 7:46. Their perfumery was usually prepared in olive oil, and not in volatile extracts and essences. The sacred ointment is described in Ex 30:22-33. The ointments of the rich were made of very costly ingredients, and their fragrance was highly extolled, Isa 39:2; Am 6:6; Mt 26:7-9; Joh 12:5. See ANOINTING.
