Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
Calamus - `sweet cane,' an ingredient in the "holy anointing oil" for the high priest (Exodus 30:23; Jeremiah 6:20).
Myrrh and aloes - so Psalms 45:8. Ointments are associated with His death, as well as with feasts (John 12:7). The bride's ministry of "myrrh and aloes" is recorded, John 19:39.
