so what about this Myrrh & Gall mixture ???
Mat 27:34 says Chloe = gall was a bluish-green bitter herb and a sedative, also possibly containing wormwood ..
Mar 15:23 says smyrnizo = myrrh, a bitter gum obtained by incisions made in the bark: as an antiseptic it was used for embalming
note: it seems wormwood is another name for myrrh (
possibly named by the way it leaks out) and was used for embalming, hence another reason WHY Jesus rejected it as He would be resurrected, as well as the mixture also represented the bitter herbs ..
I'll leave it to you to figure it out WHY
a FULL jar of wine (Jhn 19:29) was at the cross ..
Mat 26:28 for this is My blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins (
NOT ALL)
Mar 14:24 And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for many. (
NOT ALL)
Gall is the English translation of (1) the poppy and its juice (opium) and (2) bile from the liver and gallbladder.
1. Poppy
Hebrew var) (ro'sh) = gall; the poppy, so called from its heads.
Hebrew var ym@ (me-ro'sh) = juice of poppies, opium (Jer. 8:14; 9:15; 23:15); hence poison, (Deut. 32:32, 33; Job 20:16); synonymous with bitter, poison, venom.
2. Bile
Hebrew hr*r{m+ (merorah), for gall (from gallbladder), poison, venom, or a bitter thing.

Wormwood is the English translation of Artemisia Absinthium (ref. illustration), a bitter shrub.
Hebrew hn*u^l^ (la`anah), from Arabic root meaning to curse.
Greek ayivnqion (apsinthion) (Rev 8:11).
Use of Gall and Wormwood
Opium was both eaten and made into a black tea.1 It was also mixed with wine to be used as a narcotic or medicine. Wormwood was leached in wine to make a strong drink or medicine and used in tea. It could also be mixed in some foods and eaten. In addition to records of its use in the Bible, it was used by the Egyptians in 1550 BC and by the ancient Greeks. In the late 1700's a recipe was discovered for using it in a very strong alcoholic beverage called Absinthe.
THE WINE WITH MYRRH/GALL REPRESENTED ABOMINATION AND CONDEMNATION ..
