   Frankincense, Galbanum, Hyssop, Balm, Spikenard, Cedarwood, Myrrh, and many more.

               
               *They were also considered;
                         "the best products of the land,"
                      "work of a skilled apothecary,"
                      "most holy" and
                      "treasured gifts."
