Exegesis
A paratactic list of fragrances—mor {מֹ֥ר | môr} ‘myrrh’, ahalim {אֲ֝הָלִ֗ים | ʼăhālîm} ‘aloes’, and veqinnamon {וְקִנָּמֽוֹן | vĕqinnāmôn} ‘cinnamon’—is joined by the conjunction vav {וְ | vĕ} ‘and’. The Piel stem’s intensive nuance is rendered by the English “scented,” and the verb-object order maintains the Hebrew emphasis on the aromatic items.
Root and etymology
m-w-rmem–vav–resh
“myrrh, resin”
In context — Proverbs 7:17
I have scented my bed with myrrh , aloes, and cinnamon.
