This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Take thou also unto thee: the words are very emphatical, and the Jews from hence do rightly infer, that this ointment was but once made, and that by Moses’s own hands. Spices: see Son_4:14 Eze_27:22; and compare Psa_45:8 Amo_6:6.



Pure myrrh, Heb. myrrh of liberty; either,



1. Free from adulteration or mixture; or rather,



2. Freely dropping from the tree, which is esteemed better than that which is forced out of it.



Calamus; a sweet reed, of which see Isa_43:24 Jer_6:20.
