Colours

In the ancient world the clothing had very little colour. Only the rich could afford dye to make different colours. That is why Joseph's coat was such a prized garment.
From the outside the Tabernacle was like any other tent but inside there it was rich in colour. The gate, the curtain and the veil all had blue, scarlet and purple colours in their design. The blue was the heavenly colour, scarlet the colour of blood which speaks of sacrifice and purple was the royal colour.
