Embroider
The art of embroidery was known to the Jews (Ex 26:36; Ex 35:35; Ex 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 28:1–43). 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).
