I understand that virgins used to wear special clothing that showed they were virgins like in 2 Samuel 13:18 which says Tamar wore a special outfit as a as one of the king's virgin daughters.
Maybe non-royal people wore a different outfit that showed they were virgins.

Maybe "betula" means "in red" although it is spelled differently than the word red in Hebrew. Maybe the word "bachur" young man could mean "in white".

If the idea seems silly, sorry. I am just guessing for fun.

Sincerely,

Kenneth Greifer
