Spikenard oil is mentioned twice in the Bible.
- Solomon 1:12-"As long as the king is at his round table my own spikenard has given out its fragrance."
- Solomon 4:13,14-"Your skin is a paradise of pomegranates, with the choicest fruits, henna plants along with spikenard plants; spikenard and saffron, cane and cinnamon, along with all sorts of trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes, along with all the finest perfumes;"
