Bitter Herbs

VIEW:18 DATA:01-04-2020
Bitter Herbs. The Israelites were commanded to eat the Paschal Lamb "with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs." Exo_12:8. These "bitter herbs" consisted of such plants as chicory, bitter cresses, hawkweeds, sow-thistles and wild lettuces, which grow abundantly in the peninsula of Sinai, in Palestine and in Egypt. The purpose of this observance was, to recall to the minds of the Israelites, their deliverance from the bitter bondage of the Egyptians.

מרודים . Exo_12:8, and Num_9:11. The Jews were commanded to eat their passover with a sallad of bitter herbs; but whether one particular plant was intended, or any kind of bitter herbs, has been made a question. By the Septuagint it is rendered επι πικριδων; by Jerom, “cum lactucis agrestibus;” and by the Gr. Venet., επι πικρισιν. Dr. Geddes remarks, that “it is highly probable that the succory or wild lettuce is meant.” The Mischna in
Pesachim, cap. 2, reckons five species of these bitter herbs:
1. Chazareth, taken for lettuce:
2. Ulsin, supposed to be endive or succory:
3. Tamca, probably tansy:
4. Charubbinim, which Bochart thought might be the nettle, but
Scheuchzer shows to be the camomile:
5. Meror, the sow-thistle, or dent-de-lion, or wild lettuce.
Mr. Forskal says, “the Jews in Sana and in Egypt eat the lettuce with the paschal lamb.” He also remarks, that moru is centaury, of which the young stems are eaten in February and March.
