pou´dẽrz ( רכל אבקת , 'abheḳath rōkhēl ): The "powders of the merchant" in Song of Solomon 3:6 were probably perfumes, as they are associated with myrrh and frankincense in the account of the festal procession of the litter of Solomon. They may have been some sweet-scented wood in powder, or else some form of incense.
