QINNAMON

Our English word "cinnamon" is taken from the Hebrew word qinnamon. As this word eventually moved through the Latin, the harder 'q' was softened to a 'c'. This word, in its original Hebrew, comes from the verbal root qanan, which means to 'shelter' or 'protect'. One of its occurances is in Sh'mot 30:23, where YHVH commands Mosheh to make the anointing oil of the tabernacle from three principal spices, one of which is cinnamon. So, one of the ingredients of the anointing oil means 'protection'. Isn't YHVH good?

Shalom Alecheim!
