The art of embroidery was known to the Jews (Ex 26:36; 35:35; 38:23; Jg 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 (1Ch 4:21). The Assyrians were also noted for their embroidered robes (Eze 27:24).
