This art must have been acquired early. When the Tabernacle was erected the rams' skins were dyed red. Exodus 25:5; Exodus 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 Ezekiel 23:15 signifies head-bands, tiaras, turbans, of different colours. In Isaiah 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.
