Usage: The verb שָׁזַר (shazar) is used in the context of twisting or intertwining, particularly in reference to materials such as threads or cords. It is often associated with the preparation of fine materials for sacred or ceremonial purposes. Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁזַר (shazar) appears in the context of the construction and furnishing of the Tabernacle, as described in the Book of Exodus. It is specifically used to describe the process of twisting fine linen threads, often in combination with other materials such as gold or colored yarns, to create intricate and beautiful fabrics for the Tabernacle's curtains, veils, and priestly garments. This twisting process was essential for producing the high-quality, durable, and aesthetically pleasing textiles required for the sacred space. The use of שָׁזַר highlights the care and skill involved in the craftsmanship of the Tabernacle, reflecting the importance of beauty and precision in worship. In the Berean Standard Bible, Exodus 26:1 provides an example of this usage: "You are to make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim skillfully worked into them."
