If it must be: Gen 43:14; Est 4:16; Act 21:14

a little balm: Gen 37:25; Jer 8:22; Eze 27:15
balm: For an explanation of the words tzori, nechoth, and lot, here rendered respectively balm, spices, and myrrh, see note on Gen 37:25. Devash, honey, is supposed by some not to have been that produced by bees, but a syrup produced from ripe dates. The Jewish doctors observe, that the word in 2Ch 31:5 signifies dates; and the Arabians, at this day, call the choicest dates preserved with butter, dabous, and the honey obtained from them, dibs, or dabs. Benanim, nuts signifies pistachio nuts, the finest thing found in Syria; but, according to the others, a small nut, the produce of a species of the turpentine tree. Shekaidim is certainly almonds.
honey: Lev 20:24
spices: 1Ki 10:15; Son 4:10, Son 4:14-16, Son 5:1, Son 8:14
