Strong's Lexicon shethi: Warp Original Word: שְׁתִי Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁתָה (shathah), meaning "to drink." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shethi," the concept of weaving and foundational structures can be related to Greek terms like ὑπόστασις (hypostasis), which can mean "substance" or "foundation," reflecting the underlying support that the warp provides in weaving. Usage: In the context of weaving, "shethi" refers to the warp, which is the set of lengthwise threads held in tension on a loom. The warp is foundational in the weaving process, as it provides the structure upon which the weft (the crosswise threads) is woven. This term is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe foundational or underlying structures. Cultural and Historical Background: Weaving was a common and essential craft in ancient Israel, integral to daily life for creating garments, tents, and other textiles. The warp and weft were fundamental components of this craft, and their use in scripture often symbolizes the intricate and interconnected nature of life and creation. The warp, being the fixed and stable part of the weaving process, can symbolize stability and order.
