If a Jew had walked up to the entrance of the tabernacle, on its east side, he would have seen a beautiful “screen” covering the front opening that was 15 feet wide and 15 feet tall. The “screen” was made of “blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen” (Ex. 26:36). Even without God adding this in the text, it would have been obvious that the screen was “made by a weaver.” No one would have ever believed that it happened by accident or evolved over millions of years from lower forms of cloth.
The same Hebrew word used for “weaver” in Exodus 26:36; 27:16; 36:37; 38:23; 39:29 is also found in Psalm 139. Inside of his mother’s womb, the psalmist knew that he had been “skillfully wrought.” That word means, “to embroider, weave colored thread; to do needle-point embroidery.”
If no right-thinking person would ever believe that a beautifully-woven curtain could exist without a weaver, how could a beautifully-woven baby (NOT fetus!) exist without being “intricately woven” (ESV) by an all-powerful, life-giving Weaver? Life in the womb is evidence of God’s fingers at work!
