30.23 Sume tibi STRAB. Græce, Latine dicitur myrrha, qui est arbor in Arabia quinque cubitorum, cujus virgulta Arabes exurunt, ut melius pullulent et fructificent. Ex quorum nidore incurabiles morbos contraherent, nisi fumo storacis occurrerent. Hujus arboris gummi proprie stacte vocatur, abusive etiam myrrha. Calami. Cinnamomi est virgultum, et in India vel Æthiopia nascitur duorum tantum cubitorum. Dicitur autem cinnamomum, quia in modum cannæ subtiles et replicatos habet calamos, cinerei vel nigri coloris; qui fracti visibile spiramentum reddunt, et subtile quidem charum; grossum vero, vile et despectum. Calamus aromatica species juxta Libanum. Myrrhæ, cinnamomi, calami, cassiæ. Hæ quatuor species significant quatuor principales virtutes, quibus oleo unctionis, id est gratia misericordiæ, Dei Ecclesia dedicanda est et sanctificanda.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

30:22-38 Because God is absolutely unique (holy), what is used for his service cannot be used for any other purpose. This was the point made to Moses at the burning bush (see study note on 3:5). It was so vital for the people to understand this point that disobedience in this matter involved a severe punishment (30:33).
