“I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.”
Proverbs 7:17 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 7:17
I've perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. The Hebrew 'noph' (sprinkle/perfume) and exotic spices create sensory seduction. Myrrh, aloes, cinnamon were expensive imports creating luxurious aromatics. The seductress appeals comprehensively to senses - visual beauty (v.16), aromatic pleasure (v.17), later sexual gratification (v.18). Temptation engages multiple dimensions simultaneously. Resisting requires recognizing comprehensive assault and responding with equally comprehensive commitment to wisdom.
