The term given as the translation for "ḳiddah" (Exodus 30:24; Ezekiel 27:19) and "ḳeẓi'ot" (Psalms 45:9). Ancient commentators agree in identifying the two.

It is indigenous to Eastern countries, and in Biblical times was used along with myrrh and aloes both as a perfume (Psalms 45:9) and as an ingredient of the anointing-oil (Exodus 30:24). It formed one of the many commodities in which Tyre traded (Ezekiel 27:19).
