Strong's Lexicon argaman: Purple Original Word: אַרְגָּמָן Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: argaman Pronunciation: ar-gah-MAHN Phonetic Spelling: (ar-gaw-mawn') Definition: Purple Meaning: purple Word Origin: Of foreign origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4209 (porphyra): Refers to the purple dye or fabric. - G4210 (porphyrous): Pertaining to the color purple. Usage: The Hebrew word "argaman" refers to a specific shade of purple dye that was highly valued in ancient times. It is often associated with royalty, nobility, and wealth due to its rarity and the labor-intensive process required to produce it. In the Bible, "argaman" is frequently mentioned in the context of garments, tabernacle furnishings, and other items of significant importance. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, purple dye was extracted from the murex sea snail, a process that was both time-consuming and costly. As a result, purple garments became a symbol of high status and power. The use of "argaman" in the Bible reflects its cultural significance, as it was often reserved for kings, priests, and sacred objects. The color's association with royalty is evident in various ancient cultures, including the Phoenicians, who were renowned for their purple dye production.
