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.
