Hyssop:

(Heb. 'ezob; LXX. hyssopos), first mentioned in Exd 12:22 in connection with the institution of the Passover. We find it afterwards mentioned in Lev 14:4, 6, 52; Num 19:6, 18; Heb. 9:19. It is spoken of as a plant "springing out of the wall" (1Ki 4:33). 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 (Mat 27:48; Mar 15:36. Comp. John 19:29).
