1 | What is the significance of scarlet? | Prov 31:21 | lcarter | 171988 | ||
Is there a signifiacance in the "scarlet thread/cord" mentioned throughout the Old Testament. I am interested in how it fits in to the Proverbs 31 woman's clothing for her family. | ||||||
2 | What is the significance of scarlet? | Prov 31:21 | Searcher56 | 171989 | ||
God's day to you, lcarter, Isaiah 1:18 says "though your sins be as scarlet" ... so it is the color of sin. But scarlet, is seen elsewhere: - When Pharez and Zarah were born, Zarah stuck his hand out and a scarlet thread was tied around it (Gen 38:28-30). Pharez is in Jesus' geneology. - It was one of the colors of the tabernacle (Exo 26:1) and ephod (Exo 28:8), as well as other things. - The scarlet thread identified Rahab's place, which saved her (Jos 2:17-21). - "Your lips are like a scarlet thread, And your mouth is lovely. Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate Behind your veil" (SoS 4:3). To say scarlet had any special signifcance may be dangerous ... but I remember reading it was a color that couldn't be washed out easily. |
