Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the Greek word μέλας (melas, Strong's G3189) is often used to denote the color black in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew word "shachor" is used to describe the color black. It is often used in the Bible to denote darkness or the color of an object, such as hair or skin. The term can also carry metaphorical connotations, symbolizing mourning, mystery, or the unknown. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, colors often held symbolic meanings. Black, or "shachor," was associated with mourning and lamentation, as seen in the wearing of sackcloth. It could also represent the mysterious or the hidden aspects of life. In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, the color black might also be associated with fertile soil, which is dark and rich.
