Embroider
The
art
of
embroidery
was
known
to
the
Jews
(
Ex
. 26:36; 35:35;
38:23;
Judg
. 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
(1
Chr
. 4:21).
The
Assyrians
were
also
noted
for
their
embroidered
robes
(
Ezek
. 27:24).
