Rosin - Found only in Authorized Category:Version, margin, Ezekiel 27:17, Heb. tsori, uniformly rendered elsewhere "balm" (q.v.), as here in the text. The Vulgate has resinam, rendered "rosin" in the Douay Category:Version. As used, however, by Jerome, the Lat. resina denotes some odoriferous gum or oil.
