Proverbs 31:19-22

31:19

She takes the spindle in her right hand, by twisting which she twists the thread; while she holds the distaff, on which the wool or flax is rolled, in the guard of the left arm, and draws down the thread with the fingers of the left hand.

31:20

extends <06566> [She stretcheth. Heb. She spreadeth.]

reaches <07971> [she reacheth.]

31:21

afraid <03372> [afraid.]

scarlet <08144> [scarlet. or, double garments.]

31:22

coverlets <04765> [coverings.]

clothing <03830> [clothing.]

fine linen <08336> [silk.]

{Shesh,} rather fine linen, or cotton. (See on Ex 39:27.) {Sadin,} rendered "fine linen," ver. 24, is probably the same as the Arabic {sidn,} and {sudl,} a veil, or an inner covering of fine muslin.
