November 25, 2010 – Exodus 39

What I found interesting is the making of gold, a rock, into thread.  They are told to make the gold into a leaf, I am assuming that means really, really thin and then to make thread out of it.  I find it hard to understand how you take a mineral and make it into a thread.  And then to work with it as you would with yarn, I would imagine it would be very delicate and brittle.  Can you imagine a shirt or tie or pants made from gold thread.  Actually, with the way the world views things I am surprise you don’t see it.
