The Definition of the word Wool

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 (Deut. 18:4). The law prohibiting the "wearing of a garment "of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen" "together" (Deut. 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 (Ezek. 27:18).
