<p> The people of [[Jericho]] today prepare for the benefit of pilgrims a "Balm of Gilead" from the <i> '''''zaḳḳūm''''' </i> ( <i> '''''Baḷanites Aegyptiaca''''' </i> ), but this has no serious claims to be the balm of antiquity. If we are to look beyond the borders of modern [[Palestine]] we may credit the tradition which claims that [[Mecca]] balsam, a product of <i> Balsamodendron Gileadense </i> and <i> [[B.]] opobalsamum </i> , was the true "balm," and Post ( <i> [[Hdb]] </i> , [[I,]] 236) produces evidence to show that these plants were once grown in the [[Jordan]] valley. Yet another suggestion, made by Lagarde, is that the <i> '''''cŏrı̄''''' </i> = στύραξ , <i> '''''stúrax''''' </i> , and if so then "balm" would be the inspissated juice of the Storax-tree ( <i> Styrax officinalis </i> ), a common inhabitant of Gilead. See also [[Balm]] . </p>

Easton's Bible Dictionary [1]

 Genesis 37:25 Jeremiah 8:22 46:11 Ezekiel 27:17 Balsamon Baal shemen

The Hebrew name of this balm was Tsori . The tree yielding this medicinal oil was probably the Balsamodendron opobalsamum of botanists, and the Amyris opobalsamum of Linnaeus. It is an evergreen, rising to the height of about 14 feet. The oil or resin, exuding through an orifice made in its bark in very small quantities, is esteemed of great value for its supposed medicinal qualities. (See Balm .) It may be noted that Coverdale's version reads in   Jeremiah 8:22 , "There is no triacle in Galaad." The word "triacle" = "treacle" is used in the sense of ointment.
