Strong's Lexicon karmil: Crimson, Scarlet Original Word: כַּרְמִיל Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be crimson Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "karmil," the concept of crimson or scarlet is often represented by the Greek word "κόκκινος" (kokkinos), Strong's Greek #2847, which also refers to a red or scarlet color. Usage: The Hebrew word "karmil" refers to a deep red or crimson color, often associated with scarlet. In the biblical context, it is used to describe materials, garments, or threads that are dyed in this rich, vibrant color. The color is often linked with wealth, luxury, and sometimes sin or sacrifice, due to its vivid and striking appearance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, the color crimson was highly valued and often associated with royalty and the priesthood. The dye used to produce this color was extracted from the dried bodies of certain scale insects, making it rare and expensive. As a result, garments dyed in crimson were considered luxurious and were often worn by nobility or used in sacred settings, such as the Tabernacle or Temple.
