Psalm 51:7 & The Hyssop Plant | Biblical Context Explained

The hyssop plant is mentioned numerous times in the Bible, and it’s always in connection with the idea of cleansing or the forgiveness of sins. David wrote about it in Psalm 51:7 when he asked for forgiveness after committing adultery: “Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.” See what this unique plant looks like and understand its significance in Scripture, especially as it makes an appearance while Jesus hung on the cross dying for our sins.

Amen.

Woah, our Abba Father used this little clip to speak to my heart in a mighty way! I had had hyssop circled in my Bible and as my pastor read Psalms 51 today I couldn't take my eyes off the circled hyssop, but I could not remember why I had it circled. And I needed this reminder of His amazing grace! Praise You Lord, we are washed in the blood! 🙌

What exactly is HYSSOP?

[@ourdailybread]

Hyssop is a plant mentioned in the Bible for its cleansing effect in connection with plague, leprosy and chest ailments and symbolically in cleansing the soul.

[@samueltaylor9254]
