Apothecary

APOTHECARY.In all the 8 occurrences of this word in OT and Apocr. [Note: Apocrypha, Apocryphal.] we should render perfumer, as does RV [Note: Revised Version.] in half of these (Exo_30:25; Exo_30:35; Exo_37:29, Ecc_10:1); elsewhere the former is retained (2Ch_16:14, Neh_3:8 (cf. marg.), Sir_38:8; Sir_49:1). See Perfumer.

a-poth?ē̇-kā̇-ri: Found in English Versions of the Bible eight times in the Old Testament and Apocrypha for Hebrew word rendered more accurately ?perfumer? by the Revised Version (British and American) in Exo_30:25, Exo_30:35; Exo_37:29; Ecc_10:1; though inconsistently retained elsewhere (2Ch_16:14 the English Revised Version; Neh_3:8 the English Revised Version (compare the margin)); Sirach 38:8; 49:1).

Apothecary
(רֹקֵח, rooke 'ch, seasoning, i.e. with aromatics; Sept. μυρεψός, Exo_30:25; Exo_37:29; Ecc_10:1), correctly rendered in the margin perfumer; so also in Sir_38:8; Ecc 49:1; the word means also any thing spiced (1Ch_9:30); hence, ointment, confection (Exo_30:35). The holy oils and ointments were probably prepared by one of the priests who had properly qualified himself in Egypt, where unguents were in great use. SEE ANOINTING. Roberts (Oriental Illustrations, p. 80) states that in Hindoo temples there is a man called Thile-Karan, whose chief business it is to distil sweet waters from flowers, and to extract oils from wood, flowers, and other substances. From our version having rendered the word apothecary, it would seem to indicate that the business of a perfumer was not distinguished from that of an apothecary in the time of the translators. Thus Shakspeare, a contemporary writer, says,
An ounce of civet,
good apothecary,
To sweeten mine imagination.
Indeed perfumery is almost inseparable from a druggist's stock in trade. Sacred oil appears to have been as copiously used by the heathen nations as it was in:the Jewish tabernacle and temple, and during the patriarchal economy; the Sanscrit writers prove its retention in the present religious services of India, and that it was adopted in the more ancient we have the authority of Strabo (lib. 15), where he refers to a ceremony which calls to mind the words of the psalmist, that it ran down upon Aaron's beard, that went down to the skirts of his garments (Psa_133:2). Sir William Ouseley, also (Trav. in Persia, 1, 391), mentions the statue of a man at Shapur, which, according to the Nozhat al-Colzb, princes went on pilgrimages to visit and anoint with oil. SEE PERFUME.
