Wormwood (Bible)
Wormwood (ἀψίνθιον ''apsinthion'' or ἄψινθος ''apsinthos'' in Greek), is a star or angel〔Lewis, James R., Oliver, Evelyn Dorothy (1996), ''Angels A to Z'', entry: "Wormwood", p. 417, Visible Ink Press〕 that appears in the Book of Revelation.
==In the Bible==
''Apsinthos'' in the Greek text, translated as "wormwood" in English language versions of the Bible, is thought to be ''Artemisia herba-alba''. Wormwood is mentioned seven times in the Jewish Bible, always with the implication of bitterness.
Although the word ''wormwood'' appears several times in the Old Testament, translated from the Hebrew term לענה (''la'anah'', which means "curse" in Arabic and Hebrew), its only clear reference as a named entity occurs in the New Testament, in the Book of Revelation: "The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter." ()
