sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Coloured red, as the ram skins used for a covering of the Tabernacle tent. Dyed cloth was also costly, a prize of war. Interpretation: Some say the red-dyed skins were among the gifts of the people for the Tabernacle, and each colour has been given symbolic meaning by later teachers. In Deborah's song, dyed garments show what Sisera's mother imagined as spoil. In the primary lessons: In art and science children dye eggs, T-shirts and fabric and learn how colours soak in; in everyday life people dye their hair. Phrases: «dyed her hair», «tie-dyed T-shirt», «dyed-in-the-wool».
