However, Greek terms related to aromatic substances or spices might be considered in broader studies of ancient trade and commerce. Usage: The term נְכֵאת (nekha'ot) is used in the context of trade goods, specifically referring to aromatic substances that were valuable in ancient commerce. Context: The Hebrew word נְכֵאת (nekha'ot) appears in the context of trade and commerce in the ancient Near East. It is specifically mentioned in Genesis 37:25, where it is listed among the goods carried by a caravan of Ishmaelites traveling from Gilead to Egypt. The passage reads: "As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were loaded with spices, balm, and myrrh, and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt" (Genesis 37:25, BSB). The term is often associated with other valuable commodities such as balm and myrrh, indicating its importance in trade and its use as a luxury item. The aromatic gum referred to by נְכֵאת was likely used for its fragrance and possibly for medicinal purposes, reflecting the broader ancient practice of trading in aromatic substances.
