While the Bible does not explicitly mention paint as we understand it today, the use of color and decoration is evident in various passages, particularly in the construction and adornment of sacred spaces and objects.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Usage:</b> <br>The concept of paint can be inferred from several biblical passages that describe the use of color and decoration. In the construction of the Tabernacle and later the Temple, artisans used various materials and colors to create a space worthy of worship. <a href="/exodus/35-30.htm">Exodus 35:30-35</a> describes Bezalel and Oholiab, who were filled with the Spirit of God to perform all kinds of artistic work, including the crafting of the Tabernacle's furnishings. While the text does not specifically mention paint, the use of dyed fabrics and precious materials suggests a form of artistic embellishment akin to painting.<br><br>In the prophetic books, the use of cosmetics and painted adornments is sometimes mentioned in a negative light, symbolizing vanity or idolatry. For example, in <a href="/2_kings/9-30.htm">2 Kings 9:30</a>, Jezebel is described as painting her eyes before her encounter with Jehu, an act that has been interpreted as a symbol of her seductive and manipulative nature. Similarly, in <a href="/jeremiah/4-30.htm">Jeremiah 4:30</a>, the prophet uses the imagery of a woman adorning herself with paint to describe the futility of Judah's attempts to win favor through superficial means: "And you, O devastated one, what will you do? Though you dress in scarlet, though you adorn yourself with gold jewelry, though you enlarge your eyes with paint, you beautify yourself in vain."<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Significance:</b> <br>The use of paint and color in biblical times was often associated with wealth, status, and religious devotion. The vibrant colors used in the Tabernacle and Temple symbolized the glory and majesty of God, reflecting His divine beauty and holiness. The artisans' skill in creating these sacred spaces was seen as a gift from God, emphasizing the importance of beauty and craftsmanship in worship.<br><br>Conversely, the use of paint for personal adornment, as seen in the examples of Jezebel and the metaphorical language of the prophets, often carried negative connotations. It was associated with vanity, deception, and the allure of idolatry, serving as a warning against placing outward appearance above inner righteousness.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While the Bible does not provide detailed instructions or descriptions of paint as a medium, the use of color and decoration in sacred contexts highlights the importance of beauty and artistry in worship. At the same time, the cautionary tales of painted adornment serve as reminders of the potential for misuse and the need for a heart aligned with God's will.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Paint</span><p>(<i>as a cosmetic</i>). The use of cosmetic dyes has prevailed in all ages in eastern countries. We have abundant evidence of the practice of painting the eyes both in ancient Egypt and in Assyria; and in modern times no usage is more general. It does not appear, however, to have been by any means universal among the Hebrews. The notices of it are few; and in each instance it seems to have been used as a meretricious art, unworthy of a woman of high character. The Bible gives no indication of the substance out of which the dye was formed. The old versions agree in pronouncing the dye to have been produced from antimony. Antimony is still used for the purpose in Arabia and in Persia, but in Egypt the <i>kohl</i> is a root produced by burning either a kind of frankincense or the shells of almonds. The dye-stuff was moistened with oil and kept in a small jar. Whether the custom of staining the hands and feet, particularly the nails, now so prevalent in the past, was known to the Hebrews is doubtful. Painting as an art was not cultivated by the Hebrews, but they decorated their buildings with paint.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Jezebel "painted her face" (<a href="/2_kings/9-30.htm">2 Kings 9:30</a>); and the practice of painting the face and the eyes seems to have been common (<a href="/jeremiah/4-30.htm">Jeremiah 4:30</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/23-40.htm">Ezek. 23:40</a>). An allusion to this practice is found in the name of Job's daughter (<a href="/ezekiel/42-14.htm">42:14</a>) Kerenhappuch (q.v.).

The shields of the Ninevite soldiers were red, presumably painted (<a href="/nahum/2-3.htm">Nahum 2:3</a>).<br><br>(2) From noun pukh, "paint," "antimon," "stibium," "black mineral powder" used as a cosmetic, to lend artificial size and fancied beauty to the eye, always spoken of as a meretricious device, indicating light or unworthy character. Jezebel "painted her eyes, and attired her head" (<a href="/2_kings/9-30.htm">2 Kings 9:30</a>, literally, "put pukh into her eyes"). To the harlot city Jerusalem, Jeremiah (4:30) says, "deckest thee...., enlargest thine eyes with paint" (pukh). the King James Version renders "rentest thy face," as if the stain were a cut, or the enlarging done by violence.<br><br>(3) From verb kachal, "to smear," "to paint." Ezekiel says to Oholah-Oholibah (Judah-Israel), "didst wash thyself, paint (kachal) thine eyes," as the adulteress prepares herself for her paramour (<a href="/ezekiel/23-40.htm">Ezekiel 23:40</a>). The antimony, in an extremely fine powder (Arabic kuchl, from kachal), is placed in the eye by means of a very fine rod, bodkin, or probe, drawn between the edges of the eyelids. This distends the eye, and also increases its apparent size, the effect being increased by a line of stain drawn from the corner, and by a similar line prolonging the eyebrow.<br><br>See <a href="../e/eyepaint.htm">EYEPAINT</a>; <a href="../c/color.htm">COLOR</a>.<br><br>Philip Wendell Crannell<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3392.htm"><span class="l">3392. miaino -- to stain, defile</span></a> <br><b>...</b> 3392 -- properly, to (with <b>paint</b> or dye); (figuratively) to (defile) the soul, ie<br> like when sin taints by its polluting effects (&quot;moral, spiritual stains&quot;). <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/3392.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3583.htm"><span class="l">3583. kachal -- to <b>paint</b></span></a><br><b>...</b> kachal. 3584 . to <b>paint</b>.
