When one of the babies stuck his hand out of the womb, and looked like he would be the firstborn, the midwife tied a special colored thread around his hand.Īnciently, a scarlet thread was commonly used to designate who was the firstborn. When it came time to give birth, Tamar's midwife discovered that twins would be born.

The Gospels of Mark (Mark 15:17, 20) and John (John 19:2, 5), however, in their parellel reference, state that the robe used to mock the Lord was purple. The book of Matthew states that Pontius Pilate's soldiers placed a scarlet colored robe on Jesus in order to mock him. Warriors also wore clothes of this color (Nahum 2:3). It was an important part of the Temple rites that cleansed lepers (Leviticus 14) and in ceremonies of purification (Numbers19:6). It was also commonly found not only in Jerusalem's temple but also on the clothes worn to serve in it. Scarlet was used extensively in God's wilderness tabernacle built by Moses (Exodus 25:4, 26:1, 31, 36, 27:16, 28:5 - 8, 15, etc.). It can also mean a person's sins and sinfulness (Isaiah 1:18), prosperity (2Samuel 1:14, Proverbs 31:21, Lamentations 4:5, Revelation 18:12, 16) or dedication to opposing God (Revelation 17:3). Its use in Scripture can represent royalty (Daniel 5:7,16, 29, Matthew 27:28, Mark 15:17, 20, John 19:2) or the power to rule like a king (Revelation 17:4). The Greek word in the New Testament is kokkinos (#G2847), which refers to the kernel shape of the insect from which this pigment is extracted.Īnd they stripped him (Jesus), and put on him a scarlet ( kokkinos) robe (Matthew 27:28, KJV). The Hebrew words that together translate into this color's English name are tola (Strong's Concordance #H8438) and shaniy (#H8144). Scarlet, in the King James translation, occurs 52 times, six of which are in the New Testament.
