In the Bible, "tsemer" is often associated with clothing and offerings, symbolizing purity and warmth. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, wool was a valuable commodity, essential for making garments and other textiles. Sheep farming was a common practice, and wool was a primary material for clothing due to its availability and insulating properties. Wool garments were considered a sign of wealth and comfort.
