Stac´te occurs only once in Scripture (). 'And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte (nataf), and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense.' 'Thou shalt make it a perfume after the art of the apothecary' (). Nataf has, however, been variously translated. Celsius is of opinion that it means the purest kind of myrrh, called stacte by the Greeks. But it is difficult if not impossible to arrive at certainty on the subject.
