| Exodus 1:14 Ruth 1:20 Jeremiah 9:15 Habakkuk 1:6 Acts 8:23 Hebrews 12:15 <p> The [[Passover]] was to be eaten with "bitter herbs" ( Exodus 12:8; Numbers 9:11 ). The kind of herbs so designated is not known. Probably they were any bitter herbs obtainable at the place and time when the Passover was celebrated. They represented the severity of the servitude under which the people groaned; and have been regarded also as typical of the sufferings of Christ. </p>

| <p> [[Bitterness]] </p> <p> Bitterness ( Exodus 1:14; Ruth 1:20; Jeremiah 9:15) is symbolical of affliction, misery, and servitude. It was for this reason that, in the celebration of the Passover, the servitude of the [[Israelites]] in Egypt was typically represented by bitter herbs. </p> <p> The gall of bitterness ( Acts 8:23) describes a state of extreme wickedness, highly offensive to God, and hurtful to others. </p> <p> A root of bitterness ( Hebrews 12:15) expresses a wicked or scandalous person, or any dangerous sin leading to apostasy. </p>
