JFB: Exo 30:24 - cassia

From the same species of tree as the cinnamon--some think the outer bark of that tree. All these together would amount to one hundred twenty pounds, troy weight.

JFB: Exo 30:24 - hin

A word of Egyptian origin, equal to ten pints. Being mixed with the olive oil--no doubt of the purest kind--this composition probably remained always in a liquid state, and the strictest prohibition issued against using it for any other purpose than anointing the tabernacle and its furniture.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Exo 30:24

Not the common kind of cassia, which we use in purging, but another kind of it, there being seven several kinds of it, as the learned note.

Haydock: Exo 30:24 - Cassia

Cassia, not the common sort, which would spoil the perfumes, but the essence of iris, (Hebrew, kode) mentioned in the Septuagint; Ezechiel xxvii. 19; Josephus; &c. (Calmet)

Gill: Exo 30:24 - And of cassia five hundred shekels // after the shekel of the sanctuary // and of oil olive an hin

And of cassia five hundred shekels,.... Or two hundred and fifty ounces:

after the shekel of the sanctuary; according to the standard weight kept there. This "cassia" was not the "cassia solutiva", which is of a purgative nature, and now in use in physic, but the "cassia odorata", or the sweet smelling "cassia": which, Pancirollus ^s says, some take to be the nard, out of which a most sweet oil is pressed; and Servius ^t says, that cassia is an herb of a most sweet smell. Pliny ^u speaks of it along with cinnamon; and Galen says, when cinnamon was wanting, it was usual to put in its stead a double quantity of cassia ^w; Leo Africanus speaks of trees in Africa bearing cassia, and which chiefly grew in Egypt ^x:

and of oil olive an hin; containing twelve logs: according to Godwin ^y, it was of our measure three quarts; but, as Bishop Cumberland has more exactly calculated it, it held a wine gallon, a quart, and a little more: this was the purest and best of oil, and most fit and proper to be a part of this holy anointing oil.
