Hyssop was often referred to as the herb used in purification: read PSALMS 51:7
It was also used to prevent blood from coagulating which may explain why the Jews in Egypt were told to use it at the time of the passover: read EXODUS 12:22
The medicinal use of Hyssop can be found in read JOHN 19:29-30
Solomon must have been a very wise for in proof of his wisdom this passage can be found: read 1 KINGS 4:33
The biblical hyssop -the plant which is called hyssopus officinalis- is native to southern Europe but not to the Holy Land or to Egypt- therefore the hyssop that we grow is not the one from the bible. That one could have been -according to bible authorities- marjoram, the caper plant, sorghum, the maidenhair spleenwort or the wallrue.
Mint was well known as being used for flavoring food as it still is today. Some bible experts say mint was among the "bitter herbs" mentioned in Exodus 12:8 and Numbers 9:11 along with leaves of endive, chicory, lettuce, watercress, sorrel, and dandelions. All of these eaten as a salad. Mint was eaten after eating as a form of digestive aiding.
Parsley although not mentioned in the bible was abundant and was used at the passover as a symbol of a new beginning because it was one of the first herbs to pop up in the spring. The Romans served it at banquets as a breath freshener. Another passage reflecting the bitter herbs is EXODUS 12:8 and also NUMBERS 9:11.
Anise is mentioned in the King James version of the bible in MATTHEW 23:23. (read)
The word anise is considered a mistake in translation for most modern translators quote this passage as "mint and DILL and cummin".
Garlic is still the same garlic we use today. It was a favorite thing to eat by the Kings of the times.
The Gourd of JONAH 4:6 is thought by some to be the castor bean plant.
Mallow was cut up by Job for food. This plant is the saltwort plant, which is a saline plant something like spinach and eaten by the poor. read JOB 30:4
Mandrakes is mentioned in Genesis 30:14-16. The story tells of Rachael requesting the mandrakes from Rueben, it does not tell that Rachael believed in their magical qualities, although in those days the plant was held by the heathen for their magical properties. It is also known as the love apple. (Refer to page 87 in Biblical plants for American gardens)
Rue was mentioned by Jesus in His rebuke of the Pharisees.
