קנמון , an agreeable aromatic; the inward bark of the cahella, a small tree of the height of the willow. It is mentioned, Exodus 30:23 , among the materials in the composition of the holy anointing oil; and in Proverbs 7:17; Song of Solomon 4:14; Sir_24:15; and Revelation 18:13 , among the richest perfumes. This spice is now brought from the east Indies; but as there was no traffic with India in the days of Moses, it was then brought, probably, from Arabia, or some neighbouring country. We learn, however, from Pliny, that a species of it grew in Syria.
