red (of garments stained with blood)
This adjective describes the red color of garments, specifically in Isaiah 63:1 where it depicts the Messianic warrior whose garments are red with the blood of judgment. The root may connect to blushing or turning red. The dramatic image presents God's chosen deliverer coming from Edom with crimson-stained clothing, having trampled the nations in the winepress of divine wrath.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The red color of garments stained with blood. Isaiah 63:1 asks, 'Why are your garments red?'—answered by the image of treading the winepress in judgment. Spanish 'rojo' (red) and the contextual evidence all point to vivid crimson coloring. The prophetic vision uses this striking visual to depict God's victorious but violent judgment against the nations, comparable to grape juice staining a vintner's clothes. 1×
