(ii) 3750 Karkom (3750) - probably of foreign origin; the crocus:
The product of many varieties of crocus, a flower which grew from a bulb and produced light-blue flowers.
Crocus blooms were gathered, dried, and pressed into cakes of saffron. Saffron was used as a coloring for curries and stews. It was also used as a perfume for the floors of theaters and for weddings. Solomon was the only Bible writer to refer to saffron <Song 4:14>.
