Rahab’s Cord

Tolah Worm: Ps 22:6


But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. Psalm 22:6

Tolah also means “scarlet” (= “Crimson” 38x). Scarlet dye was made from a particular worm, Cermes vermilio. The Cermes vermilio pierces the thin bark of twigs to suck the sap, from which it prepares a waxy scale to protect its soft body. The red dye is in this scale.

When reproducing, the female climbs a tree (usually the holm oak), where it bears its eggs; the larvae hatch and feed on the body of the worm. It gives its life…a crimson spot is left on the branch; when the scarlet spot dries out, in three days, it changes to white as it flakes off…

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18

5) “I thirst” (Jn 19:28. Cf. Ps 69:21).
6) “It is finished” Tetelestai! Paid in full (Jn 19:30).
