This term is used in the context of crafting and textile production, an essential skill in ancient societies for making clothing and other fabric goods.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, spinning and weaving were vital domestic activities, often performed by women. The ability to produce textiles was crucial for everyday life, providing clothing, blankets, and other necessary items. The process of spinning and weaving was labor-intensive and required skill and patience. In the broader Ancient Near Eastern context, textiles were also significant trade goods and could symbolize wealth and status.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/8420.htm">tav</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to make or set a mark<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>put (1), scribbled (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">תָּוָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb denominative</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>makeor set a mark</b></font>;
