Galbanum signifies the powerful death of Christ’s generating life.

[jidong xiao]

喜利比拿的希伯来字是 chelebnah。是指一种树的胶质。喜利比拿是香的第三种成分，表征基督产生生命大能的死。

喜利比拿的希伯来字根是脂油的意思，字尾是哀哭的意思。脂油是表征基督活出一种绝对为着神的生活。这就是燔祭脂油的意义。当基督活出这一种绝对为着神的生活时，祂为着那些不为着神的人哀哭。一方面，祂自己活出绝对为着神的生活；另一方面，祂为着那些不关心神的人哀哭。

喜利比拿这种胶的气味非常强烈、不愉、难闻、可厌。这种难闻的气味有三个奇特的功用。首先，虽然它本身很难闻，却加强了其它的馨香之气。这个香料加到其它的香料里面，其它香料的馨香之气就增强了。

The Hebrew word for galbanum is chelebnah. This denotes a resinous gum. As the third element in the incense, galbanum signifies the powerful death of Christ’s generating life.

The root of the Hebrew word for galbanum means fat, and the word ending means weeping. Fat signifies that Christ lived a life that was absolutely for God. This is the significance of the fat of the burnt offering. While He lived such a life absolutely for God, Christ wept for those who were not for God. On the one hand, He Himself lived a life absolutely for God; on the other hand, He wept for those who did not care for God.

The odor of galbanum as a resinous gum was exceedingly strong, disagreeable, unpleasant, and offensive. This unpleasant odor has three strange functions. First, although by itself it is offensive, it strengthens the fragrance of the other odors. When this spice is added to the other spices, the fragrance of the other spices is increased.
