Theological / Devotional

Principal spices. Spices played a great part in the lives of ancient peoples, and were of many different kinds. “Pure myrrh” is more accurately translated as “free-flowing myrrh,” or “liquid myrrh” (RSV), a spice that was in great demand. “Calamus” was probably an aromatic reed.
