Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 24:15

ὡς κιννάμωμον καὶ ἀσπάλαθος ἀρωμάτων δέδωκα ὀσμὴν καὶ ὡς σμύρνα ἐκλεκτὴ διέδωκα εὐωδίαν, ὡς χαλβάνη καὶ ὄνυξ καὶ στακτὴ καὶ ὡς λιβάνου ἀτμὶς ἐν σκηνῇ.
King James Version (KJV)

I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and I yielded a pleasant odour like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and onyx, and sweet storax, and as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.

Modern English

I gave off a sweet scent like cinnamon and fragrant spice, and I gave a pleasant fragrance like the finest myrrh, like galbanum, onyx, and sweet storax, like the smoke of frankincense in the tabernacle.
