- Exodus 35:35
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 as weavers—as artistic designers of every kind of craft.
Commentary on Exodus 35:352 voices
Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The engraver - The artificer, literally one who cuts: a general name for the workman, to which was added the name of the material in which he worked; thus the artificer in wood, or carpenter; the artificer in iron, or smith, etc. Exo 35:32-33; Exo 31:4-5 enumerate the branches of work committed to Bezaleel. What was under the charge of Aholiab is here for the first time clearly distinguished into the work of the skilled weaver, that of the embroiderer, and that of the weaver. The cunning workman - The skilled weaver, literally, the reckoner.

- Judges 16:14
So while he slept, Delilah took the seven braids of his hair and wove them into the web.Then she tightened it with a pin and called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin with the loom and the web.
Commentary on Judges 16:142 voices
The third time he disclosed part of the secret, and now drawing nearer to his fall, told her that, if the seven locks of his head were unfastened and woven to about a cubit's length, his strength would depart from him. But herein also he deluded those who were plotting against his life.
Ambrose of Milan· Letter 19, 397Patristic

- 2 Samuel 21:19
Once again there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
Commentary on 2 Samuel 21:192 voices
And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The Hebrew text is manifestly very corrupt. First, for Jaare-oregim, 1Ch 20:5 gives us the reading Jair. Oregim has evidently got in by a transcribers error from the line below, where oregim is the Hebrew for weavers. Again, the word the Bethlehemite is very doubtful.

- 2 Kings 23:7
He also tore down the quarters of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the house of the LORD, where the women had woven tapestries for Asherah.
Commentary on 2 Kings 23:72 voices
And he brake down the houses of the Sodomites that were by the house of the Lord,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The houses of the sodomites - We have already often met with these קדשים kedeshim or consecrated persons. The word implies all kinds of prostitutes, as well as abusers of themselves with mankind. Wove hangings for the grove - For Asherah; curtains or tent coverings for the places where the rites of the impure goddess were performed. See at the end of 2Ki 21:26 (note).
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 1 Chronicles 11:23
He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s beam in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.
- Job 7:6
My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle; they come to an end without hope.
Commentary on Job 7:62 voices
My days are past more swiftly than a web is cut off by the weaver. By a very suitable image the time of the flesh is compared to a web. For as the web advances by threads, so this mortal life by the several days; but in proportion as it grows to its bigness, it is advancing to its cutting off. For as we have also said above, whilst the time in our hands passes, the time before us is shortened.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book VIII, 604Patristic
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle,....

- Isaiah 19:9
The workers in flax will be dismayed, and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.
Commentary on Isaiah 19:92 voices
(v. 8-10) And the fishermen shall mourn, and all those who cast the hook into the river shall lament, and those who spread the net over the face of the water shall wither away. And those who work with flax, twisting and weaving fine fabrics, shall be put to shame; and its pools shall be dried up, and all those who make fishing-gear for catching fish shall mourn.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
Third, the ruin of various craftsmen, they shall be confounded that wrought in flax, which is raised in wet places. Flaccid, that is, parched, pools, fish ponds.
Thomas Aquinas· Commentary on Isaiah, 1274Patristic
- Isaiah 38:12
My dwelling has been picked up and removed from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up my life like a weaver; He cuts me off from the loom; from day until night You make an end of me.
Commentary on Isaiah 38:122 voices
(Verses 11-12) I said, I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more, nor the inhabitant of rest. My generation has ceased: it has been taken away and rolled up from me like a shepherd's tent. My life has been cut off as by a weaver: while I was still beginning, it cut me off. I said, I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
And as to the posterity of his sons: my generation, namely, of sons, for he did not yet have sons, is rolled away from me, folded up, so that it is not continued to his descendants, above: it shall be removed as the tent of …
