In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe purity and whiteness, often in the context of divine or heavenly imagery.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, wool was a valuable commodity, essential for clothing and textiles. It was a symbol of wealth and prosperity, as well as purity and cleanliness. Wool was commonly used in the making of garments, and its production was a significant part of the economy in biblical regions. The imagery of wool in biblical texts often conveys ideas of purity, righteousness, and divine glory.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from eiros (wool)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>wool<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wool (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2053: ἔριον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἔριον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐρίου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (diminutive of <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">ἔρος</span> or <span class="greek2">εἶρος</span>), <span class="accented">wool</span>: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/9-19.htm">Hebrews 9:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/1-14.htm">Revelation 1:14</a>.
