Strong's Lexicon mor: Myrrh Original Word: מֹר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "to be bitter" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4666 (σμύρνα, smyrna): Refers to myrrh in the New Testament, particularly in the context of the gifts of the Magi and the burial of Jesus. Usage: The term "mor" refers to myrrh, a fragrant gum resin obtained from certain trees and shrubs. In the Bible, myrrh is often associated with perfumes, anointing oils, and embalming practices. It is noted for its aromatic qualities and was considered a valuable commodity in ancient times. Cultural and Historical Background: Myrrh was highly prized in the ancient Near East for its fragrance and medicinal properties. It was used in religious rituals, as a perfume, and for embalming the dead. Myrrh was one of the gifts brought by the Magi to Jesus, symbolizing His future suffering and death. The resin was harvested by making incisions in the bark of the Commiphora myrrha tree, allowing the sap to ooze out and harden into tear-shaped droplets.
