Dyeing
This art must have been acquired early. When the Tabernacle was erected the rams’ skins were dyed red. Exo 25:5; Exo 26:14. The tombs in Egypt show that the art was well understood there by the various colours yet visible. The word rendered “dyed attire” in Eze 23:15 signifies head-bands, tiaras, turbans, of different colours. In Isa 63:1 the Lord Jesus is represented as coming from Edom and Bozrah with His garments dyed with the blood of His enemies, as one that treadeth in a wine-press is stained with the juice of the grape.

Dyeing
Dyeing. The art of coloring fabrics, and the threads forming them, was known in early times. The ancient Egyptians excelled in the brilliancy of their dyed fabrics; and from them the Hebrews, while dwelling among them, probably learnt the art of dyeing. The Phnicians, Greeks and Romans had much skill in this art also. We read of the scarlet thread at the birth of Zarah, Gen 38:28; Gen 38:30, and of the colored or dyed curtains of the tabernacle and the sacerdotal robes which were manufactured in the desert. Exo 26:1; Exo 26:14; Exo 28:5-8. The chemical skill of the Egyptian linen manufacturers in employing the metallic oxides and acids or mordants, is placed beyond dispute by ocular proof. The various processes of dyeing and printing, or imparting the pattern, by blocksthe origin of calico printingare exhibited on the monuments in all their minute details. Even the printing blocks, engraved with phonetic letters, and with the dye upon them, may be now seen in the British Museum. The purple dyes were highly valued and in great repute. Lydia was a seller of this famous purple, Act 16:14, made probably from a dye procured from a shellfish of the sea. It still abounds in the Bed Sea.
