I arose to open for my beloved,and my hands dripped with myrrh,my fingers with precious myrrh—on the handles of the bolt.
Song of Songs (Sg 5:5)
And the Lord said to Moses:
"Take the finest spices: five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, [...] and make of these a sacred anointing oil."
Book of Exodus (Ex 30:22-23)
Myrrh is a fragrant resin with antiseptic and analgesic properties. It has been used since ancient times as a remedy for digestive, respiratory, and reproductive system ailments. It is also a component of incense used in liturgical ceremonies.
In the Bible, this precious ingredient appears in both religious and physical contexts. Myrrh is a gift, a symbol of holiness, but also of intimacy and temptation. In the Book of Exodus, this "finest fragrance" is part of the sacred anointing oil, whose composition was revealed by the Lord to Moses. In the Gospel of Matthew, it is one of the three gifts presented to the Christ Child. Meanwhile, in the Book of Esther, we read that women preparing to meet King Ahasuerus were anointed with myrrh oil for six months. In Proverbs, the seductress entices a young man with bed linens perfumed with myrrh. Likewise, in the Song of Songs, myrrh is a balm associated with femininity, desire, and physical closeness. For the Bride, her Beloved is like a sachet of myrrh resting between her breasts.
