wool

Wool as material and comparison · dominant
In Hebrews 9:19, the genitive singular neuter form occurs in the phrase rendered by the APB as “scarlet wool,” among the materials used when blood is sprinkled. In Revelation 1:14, the nominative singular neuter form appears in the comparison rendered “white like white wool,” describing the whiteness of the head and hair.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “wool” in both verses: “scarlet wool” in Hebrews 9:19 and “white wool” in Revelation 1:14. These phrases confirm the verse contexts rather than establish a finer distinction.
