In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe materials or garments that are dyed with this rich and valuable color.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, purple dye was highly prized and expensive due to the labor-intensive process of extracting it from certain mollusks. This made purple garments a symbol of high status and nobility. The use of purple in the Bible often signifies wealth, power, and divine favor. The Phoenicians, particularly those from the city of Tyre, were renowned for their production of purple dye, which was traded extensively across the Mediterranean.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>purple, red-purple<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>purple (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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>purple <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/710.htm">'argvan</a> -- purple. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/710.htm">'argvan</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>אַרְגְּוָנָ֔א אַרְגְּוָנָ֣א ארגונא ’ar·gə·wā·nā ’argəwānā argevaNa<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/daniel/5-7.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 5:7</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וּפִשְׁרֵהּ֙ יְחַוִּנַּ֔נִי <b> אַרְגְּוָנָ֣א </b> יִלְבַּ֗שׁ [וְהַמֹּונְכָא</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> to me shall be clothed <span class="itali">with purple</span> and [have] a necklace<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> thereof, shall be clothed <span class="itali">with scarlet,</span> and [have] a chain<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-7.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> interpretation and shew <span class="itali">purple</span> shall be clothed chain<p><b><a href="/text/daniel/5-16.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 5:16</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וּפִשְׁרֵהּ֙ לְהוֹדָ֣עֻתַ֔נִי <b> אַרְגְּוָנָ֣א </b> תִלְבַּ֗שׁ [וְהַמֹּונְכָא</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> to me, you will be clothed <span class="itali">with purple</span> and [wear] a necklace<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> thereof, thou shalt be clothed <span class="itali">with scarlet,</span> and [have] a chain<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-16.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> interpretation and make <span class="itali">purple</span> will be clothed chain<p><b><a href="/text/daniel/5-29.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 5:29</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וְהַלְבִּ֤ישׁוּ לְדָֽנִיֵּאל֙ <b> אַרְגְּוָנָ֔א </b> [וְהַמֹּונְכָא כ]</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Daniel <span class="itali">with purple</span> and [put] a necklace<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> Daniel <span class="itali">with scarlet,</span> and [put] a chain<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-29.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> clothed Daniel <span class="itali">purple</span> chain forasmuch<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_711.htm">3 Occurrences</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_711.htm">Strong's Hebrew 711<br>3 Occurrences</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/argevana_711.htm">’ar·gə·wā·nā — 3 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405';
