Proverbs 27:16

It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.

She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.

As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.

You shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.

how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

It is like the precious oil on the head, that ran down on the beard, even Aaron’s beard, that came down on the edge of his robes,

Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.

Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured out, therefore the virgins love you.

While the king sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.

How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine, the fragrance of your perfumes than all kinds of spices!

Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits, henna with spikenard plants,

who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.

When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”

Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”

Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’s feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
