13. bundle of myrrh —abundant preciousness ( Greek ), ( :- ). Even a little myrrh was costly; much more a bundle ( Colossians 2:9 ). BURROWES takes it of a scent-box filled with liquid myrrh; the liquid obtained by incision gave the tree its chief value. he —rather, "it"; it is the myrrh that lies in the bosom, as the cluster of camphire is in the vineyards ( Song of Solomon 1:14 ). all night —an undivided heart ( Ephesians 3:17 ; contrast Jeremiah 4:14 ; Ezekiel 16:15 ; Ezekiel 16:30 ). Yet on account of the everlasting covenant, God restores the adulteress ( Ezekiel 16:60 ; Ezekiel 16:62 ; Hosea 2:2 , c.). The night is the whole present dispensation till the everlasting day dawns ( Romans 13:12 ). Also, literally, "night" ( Psalms 119:147 Psalms 119:148 ), the night of affliction ( Psalms 42:8 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-14" class="com-number"
