Quick Definition

I mingle with myrrh

Strong's Definition

to tincture with myrrh, i.e. embitter (as a narcotic)

Derivation: from G4667 (Σμύρνα);

KJV Usage: mingle with myrrh

Thayer's Greek Lexicon

σμυρνίζω: (σμύρνα, which see); 1. intransitive, to be like myrrh (Dioscorides (?) 1, 79). 2. to mix and so flavor with myrrh: οἶνος ἐσμυρνισμενος (perfect passive participle) wine (A. V. mingled) with myrrh (Vulg.murratum vinum), i. e. flavored or (Pliny, h. n. 14, 15) made fragrant with myrrh: Mar_15:23. But since the ancients used to infuse myrrh into wine in order to give it a more agreeable fragrance and flavor, we must in this matter accept Matthew's account (Mat_27:34, viz. 'mingled with gall') as by far the more probable; (but see χολή, 2).
