Embroider
The art of embroidery was known to the Jews (Ex 26:36; 35:35; 38:23; Judg 5:30; Ps 45:14). The skill of the women in this art was seen in the preparation of the sacerdotal robes of the high priest (Ex 28). It seems that the art became hereditary in certain families (1 Chr 4:21). The Assyrians were also noted for their embroidered robes (Ezek 27:24).
Emerald
Heb. nophek (Ex 28:18; 39:11); i.e., the "glowing stone", probably the carbuncle, a precious stone in the breastplate of the high priest. It is mentioned (Rev 21:19) as one of the foundations of the New Jerusalem. The name given to this stone in the New Testament Greek is smaragdos, which means "live coal."
