Strong's Lexicon tola: Worm, Scarlet, Crimson Original Word: תּוֹלָע Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: towla` Pronunciation: toh-LAH Phonetic Spelling: (to-law') Definition: Worm, Scarlet, Crimson Meaning: the crimson-grub, of the color, from it, cloths dyed therewith Word Origin: Derived from the root תּוֹלֵעַ (tola), which refers to a worm or maggot, particularly the crimson-grub. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2847 (kokkinos): Refers to the color scarlet or crimson, often used in the New Testament to describe garments or items dyed with the crimson worm. Usage: The Hebrew word "tola" primarily refers to a worm, specifically the crimson or scarlet worm (Coccus ilicis), which was used in ancient times to produce a red dye. This term is often used metaphorically in the Bible to denote insignificance or lowliness, as well as to describe the color scarlet or crimson, symbolizing sin or royalty. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the crimson worm was significant for its use in producing a red dye, which was highly valued for coloring fabrics, especially in the making of priestly garments and the tabernacle. The process involved crushing the worm to extract the dye, symbolizing sacrifice and transformation. The color scarlet was associated with wealth, power, and sin, as seen in various biblical contexts.
