Rosin
Found only in Authorized Version, margin, Ezek 27:17, Heb. tsori, uniformly rendered elsewhere “balm” (q.v.), as here in the text. The Vulgate has resinam, rendered “rosin” in the Douay Version. As used, however, by Jerome, the Lat. resina denotes some odoriferous gum or oil.
From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897), by Matthew George Easton.
