Berean Strong's Lexicon tsebu: Dyed, colored Original Word: צְבוּ Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to dip or dye Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsebu," the concept of dyed or colored garments can be related to Greek words like "πορφύρα" (porphyra), which means purple, often used in the New Testament to describe luxurious garments (e.g., Luke 16:19). Usage: The Hebrew word "tsebu" refers to something that is dyed or colored. It is used in the context of describing materials or garments that have been treated with color, often indicating value or significance due to the process and materials involved in dyeing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, dyed fabrics were considered luxurious and were often associated with wealth and status. The process of dyeing was labor-intensive and required specific resources, such as certain plants or mollusks, to produce vibrant colors. Purple dye, in particular, was highly prized and often reserved for royalty or the elite. The use of dyed garments in biblical times signified not only wealth but also sometimes had religious or ceremonial significance.
