* gall for my meat.
Bochart, from a comparison of this passage with Joh 19:29,
thinks that {rosh} is the same herb as the evangelist calls
[ ,] hyssop; a species of which, growing in Judea, he proves
from Isaac ben Orman, an Arabian writer, to be so bitter as
not to be eatable. Theophylact expressly tells us, that the
hyssop was added [ ,] as being
deleterious, or poisonous: and Nonnus, in his paraphrase,
says, [ ] "One gave the deadly acid
mixed with hyssop."
Jer 8:14 9:15 23:15 Mt 27:34,48
* vinegar.
Mr 15:23,36 Lu 23:36 Joh 19:29,30
