hyssop. The word {aizov,} which has been variously rendered, most probably denotes Hyssop; whence are derived the Chaldee {aizova,} Syriac {zupha,} Arabic {zupha,} Ethiopic {azab,} and {hushopa,} Greek [`ussopos,] hussopos ,] Latin {hyssopus,} German {usop,} and our hyssop, a name retained, with little variation, in all the western languages.

It is a plant of the gymnospermia (naked seeded) order, belonging to the didynamia class.

It has bushy stalks, growing a foot and a half high; small spear-shaped, close-sitting, and opposite leaves, with several smaller ones rising from the same joint; and all the stalks and branches terminated by erect whorled spikes of flowers, of different colours in the varieties of the plant.

The leaves have an aromatic smell, and a warm, pungent taste.

Its detersive, cleansing, and medicinal qualities were probably the reason why it was so particularly recommended in Scripture.
