Usage: The verb אָרַג is used in the context of weaving, particularly in reference to the creation of fabric or garments. It appears in various forms throughout the Hebrew Bible, often describing the skilled work of artisans in the construction of the Tabernacle or the making of priestly garments. Context: The Hebrew verb אָרַג (arag) is a primitive root that signifies the act of weaving. This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the intricate and skilled process of interlacing threads to create fabric. Weaving was a significant craft in ancient Israel, essential for producing clothing, curtains, and other textiles. In the context of the Tabernacle, weaving was a crucial skill for creating the fine linen garments worn by the priests and the various curtains and coverings used in the sanctuary. For example, Exodus 35:35 highlights the God-given wisdom and skill of artisans who were able to weave materials for the Tabernacle: "He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers." The act of weaving is also metaphorically significant in the Bible, symbolizing the intricate and purposeful design of God's creation. The skill of weaving, as described in the Scriptures, reflects the order and beauty inherent in God's work.
