Theological / Devotional

Sweet spices. Verses 34-38 give directions for making the “sweet incense” that was to be burned on the golden altar (v. 7). It was a blend of four kinds of spices, in equal proportions. “Stacte,” “galbanum,” and “frankincense” were all gums, or resins, whereas the “onycha” seems to have been derived from a certain shell mollusk.
