hyssop
e.zov denotes a material taken with other items, dipped in blood or water, and used in acts of application, sprinkling, or cleansing.
The clearly displayed uses present this noun as a material included among ritual items and used in actions involving blood or water: it is taken, dipped, applied, sprinkled, or named in cleansing procedures. The supplied APB wording does not visibly show its specific contribution in 1 Kings 5:13 or Psalm 51:9, so those verses do not establish a separate use from the available data.
