 * spicery.
   {Nechoth,} is rendered by the LXX. "incense;" Syriac,
   "resin;" Samaritan, "balsam;"  Acquila, "storax;" which is
   followed by Bochart.  This drug is abundant in Syria, and
   here Moses joins with it resin, honey, and myrrh; which
   agrees with the nature of the storax, which is the resin of a
   tree of the same name, of a reddish colour, and peculiarly
   pleasant fragrance.

 * balm
   {Tzeri,} which in Arabic, as a verb, is to flow, seems to be
   a common name, as balm or balsam with us, for many of those
   oily, resinous substances, which flow spontaneously, or by
   incision, from various trees or plants; accordingly the
   ancients have generally interpreted it resin.

 * myrrh.
   {Lot,} is probably, as Junius, De Dieu, Celsius, and Ursinus
   contend, the same as the Arabic {ladan}, Greek [ladanon,] and
   Latin {ladanum}.
