The word you’re looking for is spelled myrrh.

Quick Scoop

  • Correct Bible spelling: myrrh.
  • Common mistake: many people try “murr,” “myrr,” or “mirr,” but the standard English and Bible spelling keeps both “r” and the final “h”: m-y-r-r-h.
  • In the Bible: myrrh is one of the gifts the wise men brought to Jesus along with gold and frankincense.

Tiny memory trick

  • Think: “My Really Really Holy” → MY (my) + RRH (really really holy) to remember the double “r” and the “h” at the end.

Gold, frankincense, and myrrh – that last one is the one with the double “r” and the “h” at the end.
