FLAX - F>@ - a well-known plant with yellowish stem and bright-blue flowers. Its fibres are employed in the manufacture of linen. The root contains an oil, and after the oil is expressed is sued as a food for cattle. Egypt was celebrated for the culture of flax and the manufacture of linen. The spinning was anciently done by women of noble birth. It seems probable that the cultivation of flax for the purpose of the manufacture of linen was by no means confined to Egypt, but that, originating in India, it spread over Asia at a very early period of antiquity. That it was grown in Palestine even before the conquest of that country by the Israelites appears from kjv@Joshua:2:6) The various processes employed in preparing the flax for manufacture into cloth are indicated: The drying process. The peeling of the stalks and separation of the fibres. The hackling. kjv@Isaiah:19:9) That flax was one of the most important crops in Palestine appears from kjv@Hosea:2:5 kjv@Hosea:2:9)

easton:

Flax @ (Heb. pishtah, i.e., "peeled", in allusion to the fact that the stalks of flax when dried were first split or peeled before being steeped in water for the purpose of destroying the pulp). This plant was cultivated from earliest times. The flax of Egypt was destroyed by the plague of hail when it "was bolled", i.e., was forming pods for seed kjv@Exodus:9:31). It was extensively cultivated both in Egypt and Palestine. Reference is made in kjv@Joshua:2:6 to the custom of drying flax-stalks by exposing them to the sun on the flat roofs of houses. It was much used in forming articles of clothing such as girdles, also cords and bands kjv@Leviticus:13:48 kjv@Leviticus:13:52, 59; kjv@Deuteronomy:22:11). (
