About Sorghum
A type of grass that grows and dies each year. It can grow to over 1.8 meters (six feet) tall. This plant may have been what is called "hyssop." A sponge soaked in vinegar was attached to a tall plant stalk during Jesus’s crucifixion to offer him a drink (Matthew 27:48; Mark 15:36; John 19:29). See Plants (Hyssop).
