Carve

Carve

The arts of engraving and carving were much practised among the Jews. They were practised in connection with the construction of the tabernacle and the temple ( Exodus 31:2 Exodus 31:5 ; 35:33 ; 1 Kings 6:18 1 Kings 6:35 ; Psalms 74:6 ), as well as in the ornamentation of the priestly dresses ( Exodus 28:9-36 ; Zechariah 3:9 ; 2 Chr Zechariah 2:7 Zechariah 2:14 ). ( Isaiah 44:13-17 ) gives a minute description of the process of carving idols of wood.
