RUE. 



Hasselquist says that he saw &quot;rue&quot; on Mount Tabor. He 

 does not speak of it as cultivated; and we are left to suppose 

 that it grew wild. 



The plant was evidently of no importance; and hence its 

 appropriateness in the catalogue to which we have already 

 referred, as forming one of those plants the tithing of which 

 indicated the minute regard of the Jews to the mere form 

 of the law, while they neglected and passed over judgment 

 and the love of God.
