אֵזוֹב (by a Syriacism for אֱזוֹב) m. ὕσσωπος, hyssop of the ancients, which was used by the Hebrews in sacred purifications, Exodus 12:22; Leviticus 14:4, Leviticus 14:6, 49 Leviticus 14:49; Psalms 51:9; 1 Kings 5:13. Like the names of several eastern plants, so the word hyssop was borrowed by the Greeks from the Orientals themselves. The Hebrews appear not to have applied this word merely to hyssopus officinalis of the moderns, but to have also included under it other aromatic plants, especially mint, origanum (Doften). Some derive it from the root אָזַב, which they regard as the same as زَبَّ to be hairy; but the plants mentioned can hardly be called hairy.
