Balsam. Commiphora gileadensis[1]. בשםbōśem - Strongs: H1314, בכאbəḵā’îm - Strongs: H1057.

From Wikipedia: Balsam is the resinous exudate (or sap) which forms on certain kinds of trees and shrubs. Balsam (from Latin balsamum "gum of the balsam tree", ultimately from Semitic, Aramaic busma, Arabic balsam and Hebrew basam, "spice", "perfume") owes its name to the biblical Balm of Gilead.
