John Gill

1697–1771

Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

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.
