Strong's Lexicon tsahob: Yellow Original Word: צָהֹב Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to shimmer Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsahob" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of color in the context of leprosy is primarily addressed in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The Hebrew word "tsahob" is used to describe a yellowish color. In the context of the Bible, it is often associated with the appearance of certain skin conditions, particularly in the context of leprosy, as described in the Levitical laws. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the color yellow, as described by "tsahob," was significant in the diagnosis of skin diseases, particularly leprosy. The Levitical laws provided detailed instructions for priests to identify and manage various skin conditions, which were considered not only medical issues but also matters of ritual purity. The presence of yellowish hair in a skin sore was a key indicator of a serious condition, necessitating quarantine and further examination.
