In Genesis 37:25, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the caravan's load of goods going down to Egypt; the APB renders the list with “myrrh.” In Genesis 43:11, the same form is included among items Israel directs his sons to carry as a present; the APB again renders the list with “myrrh.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “myrrh” in both commodity lists.
