Cassia
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
CASSIA . 1 . qiddah . Exodus 30:24 , Ezekiel 27:19 . Ezekiel 27:2 . qetsi‘ôth , Psalms 45:8 . Both these words apparently refer to some kind of cassia wood. The cassia bark from the Cinnamomum cassia is very similar in smell and properties to Cinnamon (wh. see).
