Calamus Pure Essential Oil

Biblical Significance

Calamus is a revered fragrant plant in scripture, with deep roots in biblical worship and anointing practices. It is one of the sacred ingredients listed in the holy anointing oil commanded by God to Moses. Its sweet, earthy aroma was highly valued for both its spiritual and practical uses.

"Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels."
Exodus 30:22-23 KJV

In biblical times, calamus was associated with holiness, purification, and spiritual consecration. Its inclusion in the sacred anointing oil marked its importance in setting apart priests, kings, and sacred objects for God’s divine purpose.

The prophet Jeremiah also references calamus as a prized offering of incense, showing its use in worship and reverence to the Lord:

"To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane (calamus) from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me."
Jeremiah 6:20 KJV

While this passage might at first seem to reflect negatively on calamus, it’s quite the opposite. It actually highlights the preciousness of calamus as a worthy offering, but informs us that simply burning incense or paying tithes, no matter how fragrant or expensive, can not buy us favor with God. It is a reminder to be sincere in our faith and prayers. This is the lesson we can be reminded of whenever we catch the scent of calamus.
