Wise-hearted women (Exod. 35:25) refers to the devout women who spun, "both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen" for the tabernacle. In the next verse we learn that all women "whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair." We get a picture of how, in this time of Moses, about fifteen centuries before Christ, women worked just as they do now to beautify their places of worship. These gifts that they made came from the heart and into them they put their best talents. This is the earliest record we have of the handwork of the women of Israel.
