Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: out of which
Rashi
Myrrh and aloes and cassia Heb. קדה (Exod. 30:24) is translated קציעתא, cassia. all your garments All your garments smell with the fragrance of spices. Its midrashic interpretation is: All your betrayals (בגידותיך) and sins are expiated and smell of a fragrant scent. more than ivory palaces, those that are Mine will cause you to rejoice More than the best ivory palaces, are the palaces that are prepared for you in Paradise to cause you to rejoice with them. שֵּׁן is ivoire in French, ivory. those that are Mine will cause you to rejoice The palaces that are Mine they will make you rejoice, those that give you your reward.
