Thoughts
And Things Of The Bible -- Blue
The word "blue" is generally associated with purple (Ex.
25:4; 26:1, 31, 36, etc.). It is supposed to have been obtained from a
shellfish of the Mediterranean, the Helix ianthina of Linnaeus. The robe
of the high priest's ephod was to be all of this colour (Ex. 28:31),
also the loops of the curtains (26:4) and the ribbon of the breastplate
(28:28). Blue cloths were also made for various sacred purposes (Num.
4:6, 7, 9, 11, 12).
