In ancient Israelite society, women often engaged in textile work, a vital part of daily life and religious practice. The term "skilled" indicates that these women were not only experienced but also gifted in their craft, suggesting a divine endowment of ability similar to Bezalel and Oholiab (<a href="/exodus/31.htm">Exodus 31:1-6</a>).<p><b>spun with her hands</b><br>Spinning was a common domestic task in ancient cultures, requiring dexterity and patience. The act of spinning with their hands signifies personal involvement and dedication. This manual labor reflects the broader biblical theme of working with one's hands as a form of worship and service to God (<a href="/proverbs/31-13.htm">Proverbs 31:13, 19</a>).<p><b>and brought what she had spun</b><br>The women not only created the materials but also willingly offered them for the Tabernacle.
