Matthew 26:7

προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ γυνὴ ἀλάβαστρον μύρου ἔχουσα βαρυτίμου, καὶ κατέχεεν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ἀνακειμένου.

RBT Translation:

The Ark

A woman drew near to himself, she who is holding an alabaster box of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured down upon the Head of himself, he who is dedicated.

ἀλάβαστρον - Alabaster box.

• Material: Alabaster is a soft stone that is easy to carve, making it ideal for crafting delicate containers. It has a smooth, translucent appearance that was prized in ancient craftsmanship.
• Use: Alabaster boxes were commonly used to store valuable and fragrant substances. They were sealed to preserve the contents, which were often costly and used sparingly.
• Design: The design of alabaster boxes varied, but they were typically small and often had a narrow neck to control the pouring of the contents.

"She has worked a beautiful thing into myself!"

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of costly perfumed ointment, and she poured upon the head of him, reclining at table.

LITV Translation:
a woman came to Him having an alabaster vial of ointment, very precious. And she poured it on His head as He reclined.
