In the wilderness, the Hebrews practised it (Exodus 26:1,8; 28:4,39; Leviticus 13:47 ). It is referred to in subsequent times as specially the women's work (2 Kings 23:7; Proverbs 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 (Judges 16:14 ), "the web" (13,14), and "the beam" (1 Samuel 17:7; 2 Samuel 21:19 ). The rendering, "with pining sickness," in Isaiah 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" ( Leviticus 13:48,49,51-53,58,59 ), but the Revised Version margin has, instead of "warp," "woven or knitted stuff."
