myrrh, ladanum (aromatic resin)
An aromatic gum or resin, either myrrh or ladanum (from the cistus rose). Genesis mentions it twice as valuable merchandise: carried by Ishmaelite traders (37:25) and sent as a gift to Joseph in Egypt (43:11). Ancient sources identify it with ladanum, a fragrant resin collected from cistus leaves in the eastern Mediterranean. This luxury commodity was prized for perfume and incense.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Refers to an aromatic resin, most likely ladanum (Greek 'ledanon') rather than true myrrh. Appears in Genesis 37:25 among the trade goods of Ishmaelite merchants, and in 43:11 among the choice products of the land sent to appease the Egyptian official (Joseph). The term is grouped with spices, balm, and honey—valuable exports from Canaan. Cross-linguistic renderings (Spanish 'mirra,' French 'myrrhe,' German 'Ladanum') reflect ongoing debate between myrrh and ladanum identification. 2×
