Exodus 35:28

And spice and oil
Such excellent spices and precious oil, pure oil olive, as the common people had not, and which they brought out of Egypt; the one was

the spices for the former were pure myrrh, sweet cinnamon, sweet calamus and cassia; and for the latter, stacte, onycha, galbanum, with pure frankincense.
