The arts of engraving and carving were much practised among the Jews. They were practised in connection with the construction of the tabernacle and the temple ( Exodus 31:2,5 ; 35:33 ; 1 Kings 6:18,35 ; Psalm 74:6 ), as well as in the ornamentation of the priestly dresses ( Exodus 28:9-36 ; Zechariah 3:9 ; 2 Chronicles 2:7,14 ). ( Isaiah 44:13-17 ) gives a minute description of the process of carving idols of wood.
