Plants With a Place in the Biblical Story

Scripture mentions many aromatic plants, culinary herbs, resins, oils, seeds, and garden crops. Some are familiar today; others are difficult to identify with certainty after thousands of years. This library brings together their biblical references, traditional names, and historical associations while clearly distinguishing what Scripture says from later botanical interpretation.

About plant identification: ancient plant names do not always map neatly to one modern botanical species. Where an identification is debated, this page says so rather than presenting a proposed species as certain.

The Plant Is Part of the Story

These plants are most meaningful when read in their biblical setting: Passover, worship, ordinary meals, gardens, poetry, anointing, burial, parables, and the life of Christ.

“He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man.” — Psalm 104:14
