King James Version

“And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework: and their pillars shall be four, and their sockets four.”
שָׁנִי
Scarlet, crimson red. Shani. Though your sins are scarlet they shall be as white as snow. The deep red of sin becomes the pure white of forgiveness.
