  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).
