Usage: The term "muron" refers to a fragrant ointment or perfume, often made from myrrh or other aromatic substances. In the New Testament, it is typically associated with anointing, a practice that held both religious and social significance. The use of "muron" in the Bible often symbolizes honor, consecration, and preparation for burial. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures, ointments and perfumes were highly valued for their fragrance and were used in various rituals and daily life.

The use of "muron" in the New Testament reflects these cultural practices and highlights the significance of anointing in expressing devotion and respect.
