¹⁹ Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.

¹⁷ I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

⁸ All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

²⁹ And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
