Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew term שְׁתִי (sheti) in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of warp in weaving is contextually specific to the Hebrew descriptions of the tabernacle and priestly garments. However, related Greek terms in the context of weaving and fabric might include υφάδι (hyphadi) for "weft" or υφάντης (hyphantēs) for "weaver," though these do not directly correspond to the Hebrew שְׁתִי.

Usage: The word שְׁתִי (sheti) is used in the context of weaving, particularly in the description of the construction of the tabernacle and priestly garments, where precision and craftsmanship were essential.

Context: The Hebrew term שְׁתִי (sheti) appears in the context of the ancient art of weaving, a skill highly regarded in biblical times. The warp, or שְׁתִי, is a fundamental component of the weaving process, providing the structural framework upon which the weft threads are interlaced. This term is notably used in the detailed descriptions of the tabernacle's construction, as seen in Exodus, where the craftsmanship of the curtains and priestly garments is emphasized. The warp threads were meticulously arranged to ensure the durability and beauty of the woven fabric, reflecting the divine instructions given to Moses. The precision in weaving the warp threads symbolizes the order and stability that God desired in the construction of His dwelling place among the Israelites.
