Rue. Ruta graveolens. πήγανον, pēganon - Strongs: G4076.

From Easton: Rue - a garden herb (Ruta graveolens) which the Pharisees were careful to tithe (Luke 11:42), neglecting weightier matters. It is omitted in the parallel passage of Matthew 23:23. There are several species growing wild in Palestine. It is used for medicinal and culinary purposes. It has a powerful scent, and is a stimulant. (See MINT)

Verses:

  • Luke 11:42
