Biblical texts:
King David in Psalms 51:9: “Cleanse me with sweet hyssop that I may be pure; wash me that I may become whiter than snow.”
David committed a sin by taking Bathsheba and arrogantly accorded himself the unjust privileges assumed by foreign kings, thus “he became proud above his people.” David’s prayer for forgiveness can be understood like the plea of the leper: I was proud and haughty like the cedar, and now I beseech you to make me humble like this sweet hyssop with which I ask to be cleansed. (Lev. 14:2-4)
Sweet Hyssop is known for its ability to purify the blood, which in Psalm 51:9 had symbolic, as well as medicinal significance. Hyssop as we know it may or may not be the hyssop mentioned by King David.
