Description of Botanical Coloring Page: Frankincense is one of the ingredients of the holy oil for anointing priests at their consecration (Exodus 30: 34). It was to be added to the meat offering, and to be burnt on the altar as an offering of sweet savor (Leviticus 2: 2). The tree producing this odoriferous gum-resin was not a native of Palestine. The dromedaries of Midian, Ephah, and Sheba (Jeremiah 6: 20) brought it to the Jews, so that it appears to have come from Arabia. There can be no doubt that it was ontained from trees named Boswellia, which grow in Arabia and in Somali-land --the part of Africa opposite to Arabia. The trees have compound, glossy leaves, and numerous small white, starlike flowers.
