Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
A part of
the
passover
feast
(
Ex. 12:8
8
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. (Exodus 12:8)
).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
No particular herbs are specified by
name
, indeed
the
word “herbs” is added in the AV, so that it is literally “bitterness.” The paschal
lamb
was to be eaten
with
“
bitter
herbs,” doubtless signifying the sense in the souls of those partaking that it was
for
their sins the victim was
slain
(
Ex. 12:8
8
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. (Exodus 12:8)
;
Num. 9:11
11
The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. (Numbers 9:11)
).
