Only Job 7:6, where it is doubtful whether the reference is to the shuttle-rod of the loom or to the loom itself. The Heb. word has the latter meaning in its only other occurrence, Jg 16:14. See Spinning and Weaving,
So while he slept, Delilah took the seven locks of his hair and wove them into the web]. And she fastened it with the pin and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin of the loom and the web.
"My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, And come to an end without hope.
The well-known weaver's implement which carries a thread, mentioned as early as Job 7:6; it is referred to as an emblem of swiftness.
"My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, And come to an end without hope.
