It conveys a sense of something being unhealthy or lifeless, contrasting with the vibrancy and life typically associated with the color green.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, colors were often used symbolically. Green, in its healthy form, was associated with life, fertility, and prosperity, as seen in lush vegetation. However, when something was described as "yeraqon," it indicated a departure from this ideal state, suggesting disease, famine, or divine judgment. This reflects the agrarian context of the Israelites, where the health of crops and the land was directly tied to survival and divine favor.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
