Weaving weavers

Weaving was an art practised in very early times (Ex. 35:35). The Egyptians were specially skilled in it (Isa. 19:9; Ezek. "27:7), and some have regarded them as its inventors." "In the wilderness, the Hebrews practised it (Ex. 26:1, 8; 28:4, 39; Lev. 13:47). It is referred to in subsequent times as "specially the women's work (2 Kings 23:7; Prov. 31:13, 24). No" "mention of the loom is found in Scripture, but we read of the" "shuttle (Job 7:6), "the pin" of the beam (Judg. 16:14), "the" "web" (13, 14), and "the beam" (1 Sam. 17:7; 2 Sam. 21:19). The" "rendering, "with pining sickness," in Isa. 38:12 (A.V.) should" "be, as in the Revised Version, "from the loom," or, as in the" "margin, "from the thrum." We read also of the "warp" and "woof" "(Lev. 13:48, 49, 51-53, 58, 59), but the Revised Version margin" "has, instead of "warp," "woven or knitted stuff."
