Bible Question: What does the word "Wormwood" mean? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Nolan! The word in question is the Greek word 'apsinthos.' It simply means bitter. It is derived from a bitter herb (wormwood)that was used to cure intestinal worms. The word is only found in this verse of the Bible (twice). It is mentioned seven times in the Old Testament where it represents sorrow and bitter judgment (Deut. 29:18; Prov. 5:4; Jer. 9:15; 23:15; Lam. 3:15, 19; Amos 5:7).
