It is associated with craftsmanship and artistry, highlighting the skill involved in creating detailed patterns and designs. In the biblical context, "riqmah" is often used to describe luxurious garments or tapestries, signifying wealth, beauty, and divine craftsmanship.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, embroidery and woven textiles were highly valued for their beauty and the skill required to produce them. Such items were often used in religious settings, royal courts, and as trade goods. The use of "riqmah" in the Bible reflects the importance of textiles in ancient Israelite society, both as a symbol of status and as a practical item for daily use.<div class="vheading2">NAS
