They poisoned my food with gall and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.
They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
They also gave me poison for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
They gave me also gall for my food; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

- Bochart, from a comparison of this passage with Joh 19:29, thinks that {rosh} is the same herb as the evangelist calls [ ,] hyssop; a species of which, growing in Judea, he proves from Isaac ben Orman, an Arabian writer, to be so bitter as not to be eatable. Theophylact expressly tells us, that the hyssop was added [ ,] as being deleterious, or poisonous: and Nonnus, in his paraphrase, says, [ ] "One gave the deadly acid mixed with hyssop."
