, “yellow,” denotes “gall,”
(a) literal, Matt. 27:34 (cf. Ps. 69:21); some regard the word here as referring to myrrh,
on account of Mark 15:23; (b) metaphorical, Acts 8:23, where “gall of bitterness” stands
for extreme wickedness, productive of evil fruit.¶ In the OT it is used (a) of a plant
characterized by bitterness (probably wormwood), Deut. 29:18; Hos. 10:4; Amos 6:12;
(b) as the translation of the word
, “bitterness,” Job. 13:26, e.g.; (c) as the
translation of
, “venom”; in Deut. 32:32 “(grapes) of gall.” In Job 20:25, the gall
bladder is referred to (the receptacle of bile). The ancients supposed that the poison of
serpents lay in the gall (see Job 20:14).
