מַדּ֥וּעַ אָדֹ֖ם לִלְבוּשֶׁ֑ךָ וּבְגָדֶ֖יךָ כְּדֹרֵ֥ךְ בְּגַֽת׃
’Wherefore is Thine apparel red, and Thy garments like his that treadeth in the winevat?’—
Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
ללבושך Thine apparel.8A. V., In thine apparel. Comp. c. xxxii., Note 1. The preposition ל is pleonastic as in 1) לאבשלום Chr. 3:2). Like him that treadeth in the winefat. Blood is in colour similar to wine.
