Cassia Oil is mentioned in Exodus 30:22-31 as part of the Holy Anointing oil. The Hebrew word for the spice Cassia essential oil is similar to the word meaning “to bow down or to pay homage.” The word homage in the Scriptures means “to honor another by bending low with profound respect.” Yeshua’s Bride is to be humble toward all people. She is to bow down in homage to God alone.
Cassia and Cinnamon essential oil are very similar in fragrance because they are actually of the same genus and the Laurel family of plants. Cassia was considered inferior to other plants in the Laurel family, according to the Department of Agriculture.
Isn’t that true of Yeshua’s life? The leaders considered Him of little account because He came from Nazareth, but His Father glorified Him, as mentioned in John 8:54.
Yeshua said, “I honor My Father… I seek not mine own glory” in John 8:49-50.
Like Cassia, Yeshua was considered lowly and honored the Father in everything He did. The leaders considered Him of little account because He came from Nazareth, but His Father glorified Him as mentioned in John 8:54: “Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God.”
In the middle ages, the Arabs maintained a monopoly of the spice trade by claiming Cinnamon and/or Cassia was harvested from the nests of ferocious birds and had to be gathered under their attack. [2]
This prized spice was also used by a band of thieves who stole jewels off dead bodies during the Black Plague in Europe without contracting the disease. When the King of England questioned them, he discovered that their secret was essential oils, which included Cinnamon.
In both Hebrew and Arabic, the root word Kiddah signifies “a strip,” referring to the strips of bark from which the spice is made. In addition to honoring and bending down in to pay homage, Cassia spiritually speaks of being stripped of arrogance and pride and walking in humility with a servant’s heart and attitude. This is also one of the fragrances mentioned in Psalm 45:8 that Yeshua garments are soaked in.
Cassia is one of the principle spices in the Holy Anointing Oil and was commonly traded along the incense trail. Cassia was used in the anointing oil to anoint priests, kings, and their garments. Likewise, the coming King Messiah’s robes will smell of Cassia.
In the spiritual sense, Cassia speaks of humility, being stripped of pride, set apart as holy with a servant’s heart. The deep, exotic aroma and the rich color of our new Cassia oil make it a welcome addition to our family of Biblical fragrant anointing oils. Psalm 45:8 “Your robes are all fragrant with Myrrh, Aloes, and Cassia…”
