This art must have been acquired early. When the Tabernacle was erected the rams' skins were dyed red. Ex. 25: 5; Ex. 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 Ezek. 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.
