"black," Matthew 5:36; Revelation 6:5,12 , is derived from a root mal---, meaning "to be dirty;" hence Latin, malus, "bad." See INK.

Hebrews 12:18 , "blackness, gloom," seems to have been associated with the idea of a tempest. It is related to skotos, "darkness," in that passage, and in the Sept. of Exodus 10:22; Deuteronomy 4:11; Zephaniah 1:15 .

akin to No. 1, especially "the gloom of the regions of the lost," is used four times; 2 Peter 2:4 , "darkness" (RV); 2 Peter 2:17 , RV, "blackness," for AV, "mist;" Jude 1:6 , "darkness;" Jude 1:13 , "blackness," suggesting a kind of emanation. See DARKNESS , MIST.
