Carving
Carving
karving: Carving, or engraving, was extensively used among the peoples of Bible lands. There were no materials used in the arts which were not subjected to the graver’s skill. Carved objects of wood, stone, ivory, clay, bronze, gold, silver and glass discovered today show how skillful the ancient carvers were. Carving was principally done in bas-relief, although Exo 28:11 shows that incised lines were also used. The signets and scarabs are examples of this class of carving. Several Hebrew words have been translated carved in the King James Version. Pesel or pesl is found in Jdg 18:18; 2Ch 33:7, 2Ch 33:22; 2Ch 34:3, 2Ch 34:1; hakah in 1Ki 6:35. The translation graven appears in the Revised Version (British and American) of all these passages. In 1Ki 6:29, 1Ki 6:32, 1Ki 6:35, kala appears; in 1Ki 6:18, 1Ki 6:32, miklaath; in 1Ki 6:29 and Psa 74:6, pittuah; in Exo 31:5; Exo 35:33, harosheth (see CARPENTER); hatubhah in Pro 7:16 is better translated striped as in the Revised Version (British and American).
