  Hyssop
     (Heb. 'ezob; LXX. hyssopos), first mentioned in Ex. 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" (1
     Kings 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 (Matt. 27:48; Mark 15:36.
     Comp. John 19:29).
