In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to illustrate the meticulous attention to minor details of the law while neglecting more important matters of justice and love.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Rue was a common herb in the ancient Mediterranean world, valued for its medicinal properties and culinary uses. It was often grown in gardens and used in various remedies. In Jewish tradition, rue was subject to tithing laws, as it was considered a garden herb. The Pharisees, known for their strict adherence to the law, would tithe even the smallest herbs, including rue, to demonstrate their piety.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps from <a href="/greek/4078.htm">pégnumi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>rue (a plant with thick, fleshy leaves)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rue (1).<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 4076: πήγανον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πήγανον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πηγανου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (thought to be from <span class="greek2">πήγνυμι</span> to make solid, on account of its thick, fleshy leaves; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Vanicek</span>, p. 457), <span class="accented">rue</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-42.htm">Luke 11:42</a>.
