The process of dyeing involved coloring fabrics using natural substances derived from plants, animals, and minerals. The Bible references various dyes and colored garments, highlighting their significance in ancient culture and religious practices.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Significance</b><br><br>1. <b>Purple Dye</b>: One of the most notable dyes mentioned in the Bible is purple, often associated with royalty, wealth, and nobility. The production of purple dye was labor-intensive and costly, derived from the murex snail found in the Mediterranean Sea. In the Book of Acts, Lydia, a seller of purple goods, is mentioned: "One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God" (<a href="/acts/16-14.htm">Acts 16:14</a>). This indicates the high value and demand for purple-dyed fabrics.<br><br>2. <b>Scarlet and Crimson</b>: Scarlet and crimson dyes were also prominent in biblical texts. These colors were often used in the tabernacle and temple furnishings, as well as in priestly garments. In Exodus, God commands the use of scarlet yarn in the construction of the tabernacle: "They are to make the ephod of finely spun linen, with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with skillful work" (<a href="/exodus/28-6.htm">Exodus 28:6</a>). The vibrant red hues symbolized sacrifice and atonement, reflecting their use in religious contexts.<br><br>3. <b>Blue Dye</b>: Blue dye, derived from the plant known as the indigo or woad, was another significant color in biblical times. It was used in the garments of the high priest and in the curtains of the tabernacle. <a href="/numbers/15-38.htm">Numbers 15:38</a> instructs the Israelites to include a blue cord in the tassels of their garments: "Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout the generations to come, you are to make tassels for the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel" (<a href="/numbers/15-38.htm">Numbers 15:38</a>). This served as a reminder of God's commandments and covenant.<br><br>4. <b>Cultural and Economic Impact</b>: The dyeing industry had a substantial economic impact in ancient societies. Cities like Tyre and Sidon were renowned for their production of purple dye, contributing to their wealth and influence. The demand for dyed fabrics facilitated trade and commerce, as these goods were highly sought after across the ancient world.<br><br>5. <b>Symbolism and Spiritual Meaning</b>: In addition to their economic and cultural significance, dyes and colors carried symbolic meanings in the Bible. Purple symbolized authority and kingship, scarlet represented sin and redemption, and blue signified divine law and heavenly realms. These colors were not merely decorative but conveyed deeper spiritual truths and divine instructions.<br><br>The craft of dyeing, as reflected in the Bible, underscores the intersection of daily life, commerce, and spiritual symbolism in ancient Israelite society. The use of dyes in religious and royal contexts highlights their importance and the meticulous care taken in their production and application.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>The art of dyeing is one of great antiquity, although no special mention is made of it in the Old Testament. The Hebrews probably learned it from the Egyptians (see <a href="/exodus/26-1.htm">Exodus 26:1</a>; <a href="/exodus/28-5.htm">28:5</a>-8), who brought it to great perfection. In New Testament times Thyatira was famed for its dyers (<a href="/acts/16-14.htm">Acts 16:14</a>).

Tebhul is probably more correctly rendered "flowing turban" as in the Revised Version (British and American) of the above verses (Brown-Driver-Briggs' Hebrew Lexicon);<br><br>(d) gebha`, "dyed" is so translated in the American Standard Revised Version of <a href="/judges/5-30.htm">Judges 5:30</a> (BDB); compare Arabic sabagh.<br><br>The above references and other color words mentioned elsewhere (see COLOR) indicate that the Israelites were acquainted with dyed stuffs, even if they themselves did not do the dyeing. An analysis of the various Biblical references shows but four colors which were produced on cloth by dyeing, namely, purple, blue (violet), crimson and scarlet. Of these, purple is the one best known because of the many historical references to it. It was the symbol of royalty and luxury. Because of its high price, due to the expensive method of obtaining it, only royalty and the rich could afford purple attire. One writer tells us that the dyestuff was worth its weight in silver. Probably it was because of its scarcity, and because it was one of the very limited number of dyes known, rather than for any remarkable beauty of color, that the purple was so much sought after. If Pliny's estimate is to be accredited, then "in the dye the smell of it was offensive and the color itself was harsh, of a greenish hue and strongly resembling that of the sea when in a tempestuous state."<br><br>1. Purple and Blue:<br><br>The purple and blue dyes were extracted from shellfish. The exact process used by the ancients is still a question in spite of the attempts of early writers to describe it. Tyre and Sidon were noted as the suppliers of these colors, hence, the name "Tyrian purple." The inhabitants of these cities were at first simply dealers in the purple (<a href="/ezekiel/27-7.htm">Ezekiel 27:7, 24</a>), but they afterward became the manufacturers, as the heaps of the emptied shells of the Murex trunculus, which still exist in the vicinity of these cities, testify. The pigment was secreted by a gland in the lining of the stomach. The shell was punctured and the fish removed in order to secure the dye. The juice, at first whitish, changed on exposure to yellowish or greenish and finally to red, amethyst or purple, according to the treatment. A modified color was obtained by first dipping the textile in a cochineal bath and then in the purple, Tyrian purple was considered most valuable when it was "exactly the color of clotted blood and of a blackish hue" (Pliny). See also <a href="../l/lydia.htm">LYDIA</a>; <a href="../t/thyatira.htm">thYATIRA</a>.<br><br>Besides the shellfish above mentioned, several other species are noted by different writers, namely, Murex branderis, Murex erinaceus, Murex buccinum (purpura haemastoma). This latter species is still used by the dwellers on the shores where it is found. Various species of the murex are found today at Haifa (Syria), about the Greek isles and on the North coast of Africa. The purple color has been produced from them by modern chemists, but it is of historical interest only, in the light of the discovery of modern artificial dyes with which it could not compete commercially.<br><br>Two words have been used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the colors from shellfish:<br><br>(a) 'argaman (Greek porphura). This has been translated "purple";<br><br>(b) tekheleth which was probably a shade of violet, but has been translated "blue" in both the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American).<br><br>2. Crimson and Scarlet:<br><br>As indicated elsewhere (See COLORS), three Hebrew words have been rendered crimson or scarlet:<br><br>(a) karmil (compare Arabic kirmiz and English "carmine"),<br><br>(b) tola', and<br><br>(c) shani. We know nothing further about the method of producing these colors than that they were both obtained from the kermes insect which feeds on a species of live oak growing in Southern Europe and Turkey in Asia. The modern dyer can obtain several shades from the cochineal insect by varying the mordants or assistants used with the dye. Pliny mentions the same fact as being known by the ancient Egyptians. Some of the Syrian dyers still use the kermes, commonly called dud ("worms"), although most of them hove resorted to the artificial European dyes which they indiscriminately call dud frangy ("foreign worms").<br><br>The "rams' skins dyed red" mentioned in Exodus are still made in Syria. After the ram's skin has been tanned in sumac, it is laid out on a table and a solution of the dye, made by boiling dud in water, is rubbed on. After the dye is dry, the skin is rubbed with oil and finally polished. No native product is more characteristic of the country than the slippers, Bedouin shoes, and other leather articles made from "rams' skins dyed red" (see TANNER).<br><br>3. Other Dyes Probably Known:<br><br>Other dyes probably known were:<br><br>(1) Madder.<br><br>In <a href="/judges/10-1.htm">Judges 10:1</a>, we read that "after Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah." These were probably names of clans. In the Hebrew they are also color words. Tola` is the scarlet dye and pu'ah, if, as is probable, it is the same as the Arabic fuwah, means "madder." This would add another dyestuff. Until the discovery of alizarin, which is artificial madder, the growing of fuwah was one of the industries of Cyprus and Syria. It was exported to Europe and was also used locally for producing "Turkey red" on cotton and for dyeing dull reds on wool for rug making (see thYATIRA). It was the custom near Damascus for a father to plant new madder field for each son that was born. The field began to yield in time to support the boy and later become his inheritance. Madder is mentioned in the Talmud and by early Latin writers. A Saracenic helmet and a shield of similar origin, in the possession of the writer, are lined with madder-dyed cotton.<br><br>(2) Indigo. Another dye has been discovered among the Egyptian mummy cloths, namely, indigo. Indigo blue was used in weaving to form the borders of the cloths. This pigment was probably imported from India.<br><br>(3) Yellows and Browns. Yellows and browns of doubtful origin have also been found in the Egyptian tombs. The Jews acquired from the Phoenicians the secret of dyeing, and later held the monopoly in this trade in some districts. A Jewish guild of purple dyers is mentioned on a tombstone in Hieropolis. In the 12th century A.D. Jews were still dyers and glass workers at Tyre. Akhissar, a Jewish stronghold in Asia Minor, was famous as a dyeing city.
