AROMATIC CANE
Aromatic cane is a sweet-smelling plant that was used by the Israelites as a perfume (Song of Solomon 4:14). It was also used as one of the ingredients in the holy anointing oil (Exodus 30:23). It may have come from a type of reed that grows in wet, tropical areas, possibly imported from distant lands. The exact plant is uncertain, but some scholars think it may refer to calamus or lemongrass.
