However, related concepts of spinning and weaving can be found in Greek terms such as ὑφαντός (hyphantos, G5307), meaning "woven," and ἱμάτιον (himation, G2440), meaning "garment," which may encompass the idea of spun or woven materials in the New Testament context. Usage: The term מַטְוֶה is used in the context of describing materials that are spun or woven, typically referring to fabrics or textiles. Context: The Hebrew word מַטְוֶה (matveh) appears in the context of ancient Israelite culture, where spinning and weaving were common practices for creating garments and other textiles. The process of spinning involved twisting fibers together to form yarn or thread, which was then woven into fabric. This term is indicative of the craftsmanship and daily life in biblical times, reflecting the importance of textile production in the economy and domestic life of ancient Israel. The use of מַטְוֶה in the Hebrew Bible underscores the significance of clothing and fabric, not only for practical purposes but also for religious and ceremonial uses. The production of spun materials was often a communal activity, involving various members of the household or community, and was considered a valuable skill.
