Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root רָקַם (raqam), which means "to embroider" or "to weave with colors."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that corresponds to the concept of variegated or embroidered work is found in Strong's Greek Number G4164, ποικίλος (poikilos), which means "varied" or "diverse." This term is used in the New Testament to describe the manifold wisdom of God (Ephesians 3:10) and the diverse trials believers may face (1 Peter 1:6). Both רִקְמָה and ποικίλος convey the idea of diversity and richness, whether in physical adornment or in the broader context of God's creation and providence. Usage: רִקְמָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe garments or materials that are richly adorned with colorful embroidery. It often signifies wealth, beauty, and craftsmanship. Context: רִקְמָה appears in several contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often associated with luxury and splendor. In Ezekiel 16:10, the term is used to describe the fine clothing given to Jerusalem, symbolizing God's provision and care: "I clothed you with embroidered cloth and put sandals of fine leather on your feet." Similarly, in Ezekiel 27:24, it describes the merchandise of Tyre, highlighting the city's wealth and trade: "They traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of blue and embroidered work." The use of רִקְמָה in these passages underscores the cultural and economic significance of embroidered textiles in the ancient Near East. Such garments were not only functional but also served as indicators of status and identity.
