      eik, G. eiche, OHG. eih, Icel. eik, Sw. ek, Dan. eeg.]
      1. (Bot.) Any tree or shrub of the genus {Quercus}. The oaks
            have alternate leaves, often variously lobed, and
            staminate flowers in catkins. The fruit is a smooth nut,
            called an {acorn}, which is more or less inclosed in a
            scaly involucre called the cup or cupule. There are now
            recognized about three hundred species, of which nearly
            fifty occur in the United States, the rest in Europe,
            Asia, and the other parts of North America, a very few
            barely reaching the northern parts of South America and
            Africa. Many of the oaks form forest trees of grand
            proportions and live many centuries. The wood is usually
            hard and tough, and provided with conspicuous medullary
            rays, forming the silver grain.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Scarlet
      This dye was obtained by the Egyptians from the shell-fish

      an insect which infests oak trees, called kermes by the
      Arabians.
     
         This colour was early known (Gen. 38:28). It was one of the
      colours of the ephod (Ex. 28:6), the girdle (8), and the
      breastplate (15) of the high priest. It is also mentioned in
      various other connections (Josh. 2:18; 2 Sam. 1:24; Lam. 4:5;
      Nahum 2:3). A scarlet robe was in mockery placed on our Lord
      (Matt. 27:28; Luke 23:11). "Sins as scarlet" (Isa. 1:18), i.e.,
      as scarlet robes "glaring and habitual." Scarlet and crimson
      were the firmest of dyes, and thus not easily washed out.
