Wax
( or , dondg, supposed to come from a root , significant of melting or yielding), the soft sticky substance of which bees form their cells, and which is readily separated from the honey by melting in warm water (Psa 22:14; Psa 68:2; Psa 97:5; Mic 1:4). This is properly called beeswax, and is of vegetable origin, although manipulated by the bees from the pollen of flowers. But there are other kinds of wax, made from resins, either vegetable or mineral (the latter originally vegetable likewise), by the addition of proportions of grease, such as shoemaker’s wax, grafting wax, etc. It is doubtful whether the Hebrews were acquainted with any of these artificial sorts.

Thus the LXX throughout, , and vulgate cera; so there is no room to doubt but this is the true meaning of the word: and the idea of the root appears to be soft, melting, yielding, or the like, which properties are not only well known to belong to wax, but are also intimated in all the passages of Scripture in which this word occurs.
