| When Moses speaks of bdellium and the onyx stone, I take these specimens of gems for gems in general. |
| They were brimful of myrobalan, bdellium, saffron, and violets. |
| Egyptian women carried little pouches filled with pieces of the bdellium for the scent. |
| In some way it was like coriander seed and in some other way like bdellium, a fragrant resin. |
| The price of bdellium when quite pure is three denarii per pound. |
| Commonly traded spices were cardamom, saffron, and cloves, while perfumes included the by-products of sandalwood, bdellium, musk, civet and rose. |
