dye
   the art of dyeing is one of great antiquity, although no special
   mention is made of it in the old testament. the hebrews probably
   learned it from the egyptians see ex. 26:1; 28:5-8, who
   brought it to great perfection. in new testament times thyatira
   was famed for its dyers acts 16:14. see colour.
