<p> | <p> '''''Argaman''''' , the purple juice of the [[Tyrian]] shell fish, '''''Μurex Trunculus''''' . (See [[Purple]] ; TYRE.) '''''Shani Tolaath''''' , an insect color from the cocci or semiglobular bodies as large as a split pea, black but dusted with a grey white powder, on evergreen oaks and other trees. The insect is of the order '''''Ηomoptera''''' , the females have a mouth able to pierce and suck plants. The Arabs call them '''''Kermes''''' , from whence come our "caroline" and "crimson". The full grown larva has the dye in greatest abundance. They yield their dye by infusion in water. The dye is fixed by a mordant, anciently alum, now solution of tin. </p> <p> The double dipping is implied in ''Shunt'' , differently pointed in Hebrew: Isaiah 1:18, "though your sins be as scarlet ''(Double Dyed, [[Deeply]] [[Fixed]] So That No [[Tears]] Can [[Wash]] Them Away; Blood-Colored In Hue, I.E. Of Deepest Guilt, '' Isaiah 1:15 ''; The [[Color]] Of Jesus' [[Robe]] When [[Bearing]] Them, '' Matthew 27:28 '')'' they shall be as white as snow" ( Psalms 51:7) (See [[Atonement]] , DAY OF.) Rahab's scarlet thread was the type ( Joshua 2:18). [[Scarlet]] was also used in cleansing the leper ( Leviticus 14:4). The [[Mishna]] says a band of twice dyed scarlet wool tied together the living bird, the hyssop, and the cedar, when dipped into the blood and water. Kurtz makes the scarlet wool symbolize vital health; but Isaiah 1:18 gives a contrary sense. A glaring, gorgeous color ( Nahum 2:3); that of the spiritual whore or corrupt church, conformed to that of the beast or God-opposed world power on which she rides (Revelation 17; 18). </p> | ||

<div> '''1: | <div> '''1: '''''Κόκκινος''''' ''' (Strong'S #2847 — Adjective — kokkinos — kok'-kee-nos ) </div> <p> is derived from kokkos, used of the "berries" (clusters of the eggs of an insect) collected from the ilex coccifera; the color, however, is obtained from the cochineal insect, which attaches itself to the leaves and twigs of the coccifera oak; another species is raised on the leaves of the cactus ficus. The Arabic name for this insect is qirmiz, whence the word "crimson." It is used (a) of "scarlet" wool, Hebrews 9:19; cp., in connection with the cleansing of a leper, Leviticus 14:4,6 , "scarlet;" with the offering of the red heifer, Numbers 19:6; (b) of the robe put on Christ by the soldiers, Matthew 27:28; (c) of the "beast" seen in symbolic vision in Revelation 17:3 , "scarlet-colored;" (d) of the clothing of the "woman" as seen sitting on the "beast," Revelation 17:4; (e) of part of the merchandise of Babylon, Revelation 18:12; (f) figuratively, of the glory of the city itself, Revelation 18:16; the neuter is used in the last three instances. </p> | ||

(See Matthew 1:3). </p> <p> Exodus 25:4 (c) It may be that this color all through the tabernacle equipment served to remind the [[Israelites]] that the blood was always essential in every part of life and service. </p> <p> Leviticus 14:4 (c) This probably is a picture of the value of the blood in every sacrifice for sin. Sins are put away only by and through the [[Blood]] of [[Jesus]] </p> <p> Joshua 2:18 (c) This is usually taken to be a picture of the precious Blood of CHRIST. The woman was sheltered because of the red cord. The sinner is sheltered under the red Blood of the Saviour. </p> <p> Song of [[Solomon]] 4:3 (a) The smooth, pretty lips of the bride are compared to the scarlet line.
