exodus 30:24 and of cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.

< Exodus 30:23
Exodus 30:25 >

      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.
      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.
