The art of embroidery was known to the Jews (Ex 26:36; 35:35; 38:23; Jg 5:30; Ps 45:14). The skill of the women in this art was seen in the preparation of the sacerdotal robes of the high priest (Ex 28). It seems that the art became hereditary in certain families (1Ch 4:21). The Assyrians were also noted for their embroidered robes (Eze 27:24).

The embroiderer worked with a needle his design in stitches of colored thread, or in colored pieces of cloth sewn upon the groundwork. In Ex 26:1, "the tabernacle curtains with cherubims of cunning work," rather "of the work of the skilled weaver"; chosheeb, one who thinks and counts. The figures of cherubim were to be worked in the loom as in tapestry work, but the hangings or entrance curtains for the tent were to be embroidered with the needle (Ex 26:36), "wrought with needlework"; roqem, "the needleworker," "the work of the embroiderer" (Ex 35:35; 38:23).
