Reference: Weaving, weavers
Easton
Weaving was an art practised in very early times (Ex 35:35). The Egyptians were specially skilled in it (Isa 19:9; Eze 27:7), and some have regarded them as its inventors.
In the wilderness, the Hebrews practised it (Ex 26:1,8; 28:4,39; Le 13:47). It is referred to in subsequent times as specially the women's work (2Ki 23:7; Pr 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 (Jg 16:14), "the web" (Jg 16:13-14), and "the beam" (1Sa 17:7; 2Sa 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" (Le 13:48-49,51-53,58-59), but the Revised Version margin has, instead of "warp," "woven or knitted stuff."
