"Take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood… and strike the lintel and the two side posts" (Exodus 12:22). "Take for him that is to be cleansed… hyssop" (Leviticus 14:4). "Take… hyssop… for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin" (Numbers 19:6,9). "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow" (Psalm 51:7). "They filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to His mouth… He [Jesus] said, It is finished " (John 19:29,30).
Behold
the humble hyssop plant,
A
root that sprang from desert ground
That
grew where other foliage can't,
Was
where the cleansing blood was found.
Instructions
from the great I AM
Regarding
hyssop specified
That
blood from the Passover lamb
Upon
the doors must be applied.
The
leper's cleansing ritual
And
waters that would purify,
Employing
hyssop's humble role,
Foreshadowed
Christ who came to die.
The
history of the hyssop, Lord,
To
David's heart had been revealed,
As
he cried out to be restored
And
by Your cleansing blood was healed.
