Dict: easton - Rue

easton:

Rue @ a garden herb (Ruta graveolens) which the Pharisees were careful to tithe kjv@Luke:11:42), neglecting weightier matters. It is omitted in the parallel passage of kjv@Matthew:23:23. There are several species growing wild in Palestine. It is used for medicinal and culinary purposes. It has a powerful scent, and is a stimulant. (
