Aloe in the Bible

Did you know that the Aloe is mentioned in the Bible?

Not every Plant is, so it must be important!

I have counted 5 verses:


* Numbers 24:6 KJVA (New King James Version Amplified)

As the valleys are they spread forth , as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted , and as cedar trees beside the waters.

* Psalms 45:8 KJVA

All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad .

* Proverbs 7:17 KJVA

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

* Song of Solomon 4:14 KJVA

Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:

* John 19:39 KJVA

And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight.
