Aloe. An odoriferous tree, called also "lign aloe." Numbers 24:6; Psalms 45:8; Proverbs 7:17; Song of Solomon 4:14. The aroma of the tree proceeds from its resin, especially when decaying. Aloe wood is useful for perfuming rooms and clothing. We find it also mixed with myrrh, used in burial. John 19:39.
