Strong's Lexicon adom: Red Original Word: אָדָם Word Origin: Derived from the root אָדַם (adam), which means "to be red" or "ruddy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "red" is "πυρρός" (pyrros), Strong's Greek #4450, which also means fiery red or flame-colored. Usage: The Hebrew word "adom" is primarily used to describe the color red. It is often associated with the appearance of objects, people, or natural phenomena that possess a reddish hue. In the biblical context, "adom" can describe the color of blood, the earth, or even the complexion of individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, colors held significant symbolic meanings. The color red, represented by "adom," was often associated with life, vitality, and sometimes danger or sin. The reddish hue of blood made it a symbol of life and sacrifice, while the red earth (adamah) from which Adam was formed connects humanity to the ground and creation. The color red also had practical implications, as it was used in dyes and pigments for clothing and art.
