'Spices' in the Bible
Who is this who comes up from the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all spices of the merchant?
How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine! The fragrance of your perfumes than all kinds of spices!
spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree; myrrh and aloes, with all the best spices,
Awake, north wind; and come, you south! Blow on my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and taste his precious fruits. Lover
His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
Come away, my beloved! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices!
