In the New Testament, it is typically associated with anointing, a practice that held both religious and social significance. The use of "muron" in the Bible often symbolizes honor, consecration, and preparation for burial.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures, ointments and perfumes were highly valued for their fragrance and were used in various rituals and daily life. They were often made from expensive ingredients and stored in alabaster jars. Anointing with oil or ointment was a common practice for hospitality, religious ceremonies, and burial preparations. The use of "muron" in the New Testament reflects these cultural practices and highlights the significance of anointing in expressing devotion and respect.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3464</b> <i>mýron</i> an ointment made of olive oil (<a href="/greek/1637.htm">1637</a> <i>/élaion</i>) and other spices (scents).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>ointment<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ointment (1), perfume (12), perfumes (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3464: μύρον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μύρον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">μύρου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (the grammarians derive it from <span class="greek2">μύρῳ</span> to flow, accordingly, a flowing juice, trickling sap: but probably more correct to regard it as an oriental word akin to <span class="greek2">μύρρα</span>, Hebrew <span class="hebrew">מֹר</span>, <span class="hebrew">מור</span>; (<span class="abbreviation">Fick</span> (i. 836) connects it with the root, smar, 'to smear', with which <span class="abbreviation">Vanicek</span>, 1198f associates <span class="greek2">σμύρνα</span>, <span class="greek2">μύρτος</span>, etc.; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Curtius</span>, p. 714)), <span class="accented">ointment</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/26-7.htm">Matthew 26:7, 9</a> <span class="manuref">Rec.</span>, 12; <a href="/interlinear/mark/14-3.htm">Mark 14:3-5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/7-37.htm">Luke 7:37</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/23-56.htm">Luke 23:56</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/11-2.htm">John 11:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/12-3.htm">John 12:3, 5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/18-13.htm">Revelation 18:13</a>; distinguished from <span class="greek2">ἔλαιον</span> (which see and see <span class="abbreviation">Trench</span>, Synonyms, § xxxviii.), <a href="/interlinear/luke/7-46.htm">Luke 7:46</a>.
