Strong's Lexicon saruq or saroq: Red, reddish Original Word: שָׂרוּק Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂרַק (saraq), meaning "to entwine" or "to be red." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "saruq," the concept of red or reddish can be related to Greek words like πυρρός (pyrros), meaning "fiery red," which appears in the New Testament in contexts such as Revelation 6:4. Usage: The term "saruq" is used to describe a reddish color, often associated with the color of wine or certain types of vines. It conveys the idea of something that is vibrant and visually striking. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, colors held significant symbolic meanings. Red, in particular, was often associated with life, blood, and vitality. The color red could also symbolize sin or sacrifice, as seen in the sacrificial system of the Old Testament. The use of "saruq" in describing vines or wine may also reflect the agricultural practices and the importance of vineyards in ancient Israelite society.
