RBT Translation:
Her Hair and Myrrh vs. His Feet
And Bitter-Rebel was her who has smeared the Master with fragrant-oil and who has kneaded out the Feet of himself with the Hairs of herself, her of whom the Brother, Helpless, was weak.94b
Her hair is a flock of goats inclining down

"Turn around your eyes from opposite/against myself, which are they that storm/dismay myself. Your hair is as a flock of the Female Goats that have reclined down from the Witness Heap." (Song of Solomon 6:5 RBT)

"And myself is as a little one, my pair of feet is he who is bent down, she has poured out my happiness/straightness as nothing." (Psalm 73:2 RBT)

"He is not coming in, he who is wounded, crushed. And he who is cut off she has poured out within the assembly of He Is." (Deuteronomy 23:1 RBT)

LITV Translation:
And it was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
ESV Translation:
It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.

94b

Mary and Myron

Greek #3464 Myron (μύρον): Myron is a resinous substance known for its bitter taste and aromatic fragrance. It is derived from certain trees or shrubs, primarily found in regions such as Arabia and Ethiopia. Myron is obtained by making incisions in the bark of these trees or shrubs, causing a fragrant gum to exude. Despite its bitterness, myron emits a warm, earthy scent with sweet and resinous notes, making it valued for its aromatic properties. The Greek word for myron, "μύρον," shares etymological roots with the Hebrew words "מֹר" (mor) and "מור" (mor), both of which also refer to myrrh. The Hebrew name "Mary" (Miryam) (מִרְיָם), suggests the linguistic connection between the name Mary and the aromatic resin. Furthermore, the name Mary is derived from the root מַר "bitter one/bitterness" in Hebrew (Strongs #4751), coming from the root מָרַר (Strongs #4843) meaning "to be bitter".

Greek ἐκμάξασα she who has kneaded out, ground down.

From ek and the base of massaomai; to knead out. cf Strongs #$1591
