The Definition of the word Carve

Carve

The arts of engraving and carving were much practised among the Jews. They were practised in connection with the construction of "the tabernacle and the temple (Ex. 31:2, 5; 35:33; 1 Kings 6:18," "35; Ps. 74:6), as well as in the ornamentation of the priestly" "dresses (Ex. 28:9-36; Zech. 3:9; 2 Chr. 2:7, 14). Isaiah" (44:13-17) gives a minute description of the process of carving idols of wood.
