Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel? The prophet resumes his questioning. What means the redness of thine apparel? Whence the stains? Are they wine-stains consequent on treading the winepress? Among the Hebrews, as among the Egyptians (Wilkinson, 'Ancient Egyptians,' vol. 1. p. 46), the juice of the grape was trodden out by the feet of men, who often splashed some upon their garments (Genesis 49:11).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Wherefore art thou red . . .?--The wondering question shows that the colour is not that of the warrior's usual dress. The Hebrew word for "red" (?dom) connects itself with Edom (comp. Genesis 25:30), as batsir ("vintage") probably with Bozrah.
