Wool:
one of the first material used for making woven cloth (Lev 13:47,48,52,59; 19:19). The first-fruit of wool was to be offered to the priests (Deu 18:4). The law prohibiting the wearing of a garment "of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together" (Deu 22:11) may, like some other laws of a similar character, have been intended to express symbolically the separateness and simplicity of God's covenant people. The wool of Damascus, famous for its whiteness, was of great repute in the Tyrian market (Eze 27:18).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
