It is often associated with purification and cleansing, both physically and spiritually. The plant is believed to be a small bushy herb, possibly Origanum syriacum or a similar species, native to the Middle East.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Uses:</b><br><br>1. <b>Passover Rituals:</b><br> Hyssop first appears in the Bible in the context of the Passover in Egypt. In <a href="/exodus/12-22.htm">Exodus 12:22</a>, the Israelites are instructed to use a bunch of hyssop to apply the blood of the Passover lamb to the doorposts and lintels of their homes: "Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it in the blood in the basin, and brush the lintel and the two doorposts with some of the blood in the basin. None of you shall go out the door of his house until morning." This act was a sign for the Lord to pass over the houses of the Israelites during the final plague.<br><br>2. <b>Purification Ceremonies:</b><br> Hyssop is also used in various purification rites. In <a href="/leviticus/14-4.htm">Leviticus 14:4-6</a>, it is part of the cleansing ritual for a person healed of leprosy: "the priest shall order that two live clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop be brought for the one to be cleansed." Similarly, in <a href="/numbers/19-18.htm">Numbers 19:18</a>, hyssop is used in the preparation of the water of purification: "Then a man who is clean is to take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle the tent and all the furnishings and the people who were there."<br><br>3. <b>Symbol of Spiritual Cleansing:</b><br> In <a href="/psalms/51-7.htm">Psalm 51:7</a>, David uses hyssop metaphorically to express his desire for spiritual cleansing: "Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow." This verse highlights the symbolic use of hyssop as a means of purification from sin.<br><br>4. <b>Crucifixion of Jesus:</b><br> In the New Testament, hyssop is mentioned in the account of Jesus' crucifixion. <a href="/john/19-29.htm">John 19:29</a> states, "A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth." This act fulfilled the prophecy and symbolized the completion of the sacrificial system through Christ's atoning death.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br><br>Hyssop's significance in biblical times extended beyond its ritual use. It was valued for its aromatic properties and potential medicinal benefits. The plant's ability to grow in rocky and arid conditions made it accessible for various uses, including as a cleansing agent.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>Hyssop's repeated use in purification rituals underscores the biblical theme of holiness and the need for cleansing from sin. It serves as a tangible representation of the spiritual purification that God provides. The use of hyssop in the Passover and its connection to the crucifixion of Jesus further illustrate the continuity of God's redemptive plan from the Old Testament to the New Testament.<br><br>In summary, hyssop is a multifaceted symbol in the Bible, representing physical and spiritual purification, and it plays a significant role in the narrative of redemption and atonement.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(Hebrews `ezob; LXX. hyssopos), first mentioned in <a href="/exodus/12-22.htm">Exodus 12:22</a> in connection with the institution of the Passover. We find it afterwards mentioned in <a href="/leviticus/14-4.htm">Leviticus 14:4</a>, 6, 52; <a href="/numbers/19-6.htm">Numbers 19:6</a>, 18; <a href="/hebrews/9-19.htm">Hebrews 9:19</a>. It is spoken of as a plant "springing out of the wall" (<a href="/1_kings/4-33.htm">1 Kings 4:33</a>). Many conjectures have been formed as to what this plant really was. Some contend that it was a species of marjoram (origanum), six species of which are found in Palestine. Others with more probability think that it was the caper plant, the Capparis spinosa of Linnaeus. This plant grew in Egypt, in the desert of Sinai, and in Palestine. It was capable of producing a stem three or four feet in length (<a href="/matthew/27-48.htm">Matthew 27:48</a>; <a href="/mark/15-36.htm">Mark 15:36. </a>Comp. <a href="/john/19-29.htm">John 19:29</a>). <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>n.</I>) A plant (Hyssopus officinalis).

Probably hyssop is identical with the Arabic zat`ar, a name applied to a group of aromatic plants of the genus marjoram and thyme. They would any of them furnish a bunch suitable for sprinkling, and they have the important recommendation that they grow everywhere, being found even in the desert. Post thinks of all varieties the Origanum maru, a special variety of marjoram which favors terrace walls and rocks, is the most probable.<br><br>The proposal (Royle, Jour. Royal Asiatic Soc., VII, 193-213) to identify the caper (Capparis spinosa) with hyssop, which has been popularized by the works of Tristram, has not much to recommend it. It is true that the caper is very commonly seen growing out of walls all over Palestine (<a href="/1_kings/4-33.htm">1 Kings 4:33</a>), but in no other respect is it suitable to the requirements of the Biblical references. The supposed similarity between the Arabic 'acaf ("caper") and the Hebrew 'ezobh is fanciful; the caper with its stiff, prickly stems and smooth, flat leaves would not furnish a bunch for sprinkling as serviceable as many species of zat`ar. It has been specially urged that the hyssop suits the conditions of <a href="/john/19-29.htm">John 19:29</a>, it being maintained that a stem of caper would make a good object on which to raise the "sponge full of vinegar" to the Saviour's face, the equivalent of the "reed" of <a href="/matthew/27-48.htm">Matthew 27:48</a> <a href="/mark/15-36.htm">Mark 15:36</a>. For such a purpose the flexible, prickly stems of the hyssop would be most unsuitable; indeed, it would be no easy matter to find one of sufficient length. It is necessary to suppose either that a bunch of hyssop accompanied the sponge with the vinegar upon the reed, or, as has been proposed by several writers (for references see article "Hyssop," EB), that hussopo is a corruption of husso, "javelin," and that the passage should read "They put a sponge full of vinegar upon a javelin."<br><br>E.
