John 11:2

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
