In ancient Jewish tradition, hyssop was used in ceremonial cleansing, as prescribed in the Law of Moses. It was employed in the sprinkling of blood or water for purification purposes, symbolizing spiritual cleansing and renewal. The plant's use in the Passover (Exodus 12:22) and purification rituals (Leviticus 14:4-6) underscores its significance in Jewish religious practices.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Semitic origin, cf. <a href="/hebrew/231.htm">ezob</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>hyssop<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hyssop (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5301: ὕσσωπος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὕσσωπος</span></span> (on the breathing see <span class="manuref">WH</span>'s Appendix, p. 144a; Lachmann (in both his editions) spells it with one sigma <span class="greek2">ς'</span> in John), <span class="greek2">ὑσσώπου</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, (Hebrew <span class="hebrew">אֵזוב</span>, <a href="/interlinear/exodus/12-22.htm">Exodus 12:22</a>; <a href="/interlinear/numbers/19-6.htm">Numbers 19:6, 18</a>, etc.), <span class="accented">hyssop,</span> a plant a bunch of which was used by the Hebrews in their ritual sprinklings: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/9-19.htm">Hebrews 9:19</a>; <span class="greek2">ὑσσώπῳ</span>, equivalent to <span class="greek2">καλάμῳ</span> <span class="greek2">ὑσσώπου</span>, <a href="/interlinear/john/19-29.htm">John 19:29</a>.
