Subjects in this Topic:
ANISE (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘dill,’ Mat_23:23) is the familiar plant Anethum graveolens, one of the Umbelliferæ. It is indigenous in Palestine, and is extensively used both in cooking and in the form of ‘dill water’ as a domestic remedy for flatulence. It is expressly stated in Jewish writers that the dill was subject to tithe.
