The Exodus
The plant chosen for this saddle is called the caper. It is a member of the hyssop family which was used in the Jewish rituals of worship for purification. The caper is used to prepare certain food dishes, to enhance the taste of the food by purifying the palette.
In Exodus chapter 12, the bible tells of the Israelites leaving Egypt. They were leaving a life of slavery and bondage, looking forward to receiving the freedom and promises of God. We are told in Isaiah 58:6-14 how to find the freedom and promises of God, and that is by doing what God wants us to do.
In Mark 12:29, Jesus tell that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord thy God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. 2nd Corinthians 6:14-18, tells us to fellowship with godly people and to be separated from the world. 2nd Corinthians 7:1 says, "Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates the body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.".
Thus we make our Exodus.
