Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for wool is "ἔριον" (erion), Strong's Greek 2053, which appears in the New Testament, such as in Revelation 1:14, describing the hair of the Son of Man as white like wool. Usage: The term "Tsemari" refers to wool or woolen garments. In the biblical context, wool was a significant material used for clothing and other textiles. It was valued for its warmth and durability, making it a common choice for garments in ancient Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, wool was a primary textile material, often obtained from sheep. The process of shearing, cleaning, and spinning wool into yarn was labor-intensive, making woolen garments valuable. Wool was also used in religious contexts, such as in the making of priestly garments and temple hangings. The purity and quality of wool were important, as seen in various biblical laws and regulations concerning textiles.
