James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Cinnamon


Subjects in this Topic:

CINNAMON (Exo_30:23, Pro_7:17, Son_4:14, Rev_18:13).—Almost without doubt the product of Cinnamomum zeylanicum of Ceylon. The inner bark is the part chiefly used, but oil is also obtained from the fruit. Cinnamon is still a favourite perfume and flavouring substance in Palestine.
