In the biblical context, it is used to describe materials, garments, or threads that are dyed in this rich, vibrant color. The color is often linked with wealth, luxury, and sometimes sin or sacrifice, due to its vivid and striking appearance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, the color crimson was highly valued and often associated with royalty and the priesthood. The dye used to produce this color was extracted from the dried bodies of certain scale insects, making it rare and expensive. As a result, garments dyed in crimson were considered luxurious and were often worn by nobility or used in sacred settings, such as the Tabernacle or Temple.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>probably of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>crimson, carmine<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>crimson (3).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">כַּרְמִיל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>crimson, carmine</b></font>, i.e. crimson stuff, cloth; late (probably Persian loan-word, and a derive. from Persian <img src="/bdbgif/bdb050201.gif"> <em>worm</em>, see De<sup>ZDuth.
