Sense 1: blue

Semantic entry: 79.37

Semantic domains: Features of Objects

Subdomains: Color

Definition: pertaining to being the color of the flower hyacinth (see 2.41: ὑάκινθος), probably a shade of blue

Notes: Since in some languages the flower hyacinth may not be as well known as precious stones such as sapphire and turquoise, it may be possible to render RV REV 9:17 · LV REV 9:17 · Read together REV 9:17 as ‘blue as sapphire’ or ‘blue as turquoise.’ The justification for this is simply that the Greek term ὑακίνθινος had become primarily a designation for color.

REV 9:17: RV REV 9:17 · LV REV 9:17 · Read together REV 9:17

OET-RV REV 9:17

17 and this is what the horses and their riders looked like in my vision: the soldiers wore chestplates that were red like fire, blue like sapphire, and yellow like sulfur. The heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and fire, smoke, and fumes from burning sulfur came out of their mouths.

OET-LV REV 9:17

17 And thus I_saw the horses in my vision, and the ones sitting on them:
having breastplates fiery, and hyacinthine, and sulfurous, and the heads of_the horses like the_heads of_lions, and out_of the mouths of_them is_going_out fire, and smoke, and sulfur.
