THE WORKSHOP OF THE WORD

Crafts & recipes of the Bible.

The Bible is full of hands at work — bakers, potters, dyers, perfumers, founders of bronze. Open a craft to learn how it was done, and follow the link back to its scripture in whichever edition you are reading.

These reconstructions draw on scripture and what is known of ancient Near Eastern craft; measurements and methods are approximate and scholarly, not literal recipes.
