Dyeing
Colour in Scripture is rarely just colour. The tent of meeting was covered with “rams’ skins dyed red,” and cloth in blue, purple and scarlet filled the sanctuary. Elsewhere dyed clothing signals rank: Ezekiel describes Babylonian princes “exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads.” Isaiah asks a startling question, “Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?” and the answer is one “mighty to save.” The same craft decorates a holy tent, marks royalty, and paints a picture of a rescuer. Exodus 26:14 is the quiet place to start.
