perfumers, makers of ointments and fragrances (professional guild)
This plural noun designates professional perfumers or ointment-makers, appearing in Nehemiah 3:8 where Hananiah 'son of the perfumers' (i.e., member of the perfumers' guild) helps rebuild Jerusalem's wall. The phrase 'son of the perfumers' indicates guild membership, a common way to denote professional association in ancient contexts. These artisans specialized in creating the precious oils, incenses, and perfumes essential for temple worship, royal courts, and daily life in the ancient Near East.

1. sense 1 — Nehemiah 3:8 mentions 'one of the perfumers' (literally 'son of the perfumers'), identifying Hananiah by his professional guild. The multilingual glosses uniformly preserve the occupational designation: Spanish 'perfumeros,' English 'perfumers.' These specialists compounded the complex recipes for sacred anointing oil, incense, and cosmetic preparations. The detail that even perfumers joined the wall-building effort shows the comprehensive mobilization of Jerusalem's population for Nehemiah's restoration project. 1×
