## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: Hosea uses a bitter, poisonous plant to picture justice turned sour by false oaths. The tradition reads it as a warning that broken promises poison society. In the primary lessons: in fairy tales, hemlock can be a poison, or a magic plant that grows out of a person

### Examples

- They speak words, they swear falsely, they make covenants; thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. (Prophets HOS.10.4, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/H/hemlock/#x1)
