Concise Bible Dictionary:
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 colors yet visible. The word rendered “dyed attire” in Ezekiel 23:15 signifies head-bands, tiaras, turbans, of different colors. 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.
