Strong's Lexicon adom: Red Original Word: אֱדֹם Word Origin: Derived from the root אָדַם (adam), which means "to be red" or "ruddy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4450 πυρρός (pyrrhos) – meaning "red" or "fiery red," used in Revelation 6:4 to describe a red horse. Usage: The Hebrew word "adom" is used to describe the color red. It is often associated with the appearance of objects, people, or natural phenomena that have a reddish hue. In the biblical context, "adom" can refer to the color of hair, skin, or even the earth itself. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, colors often carried symbolic meanings. The color red, represented by "adom," could symbolize life, blood, and vitality, as well as sin and sacrifice. The reddish hue of the soil in certain regions of the Near East may have contributed to the use of "adom" in describing the earth and humanity, as seen in the name "Adam," which is closely related to the word for ground or earth (אֲדָמָה, adamah).
