The Fetus ....woven of coloured threads

Story:

I am reading through the Bible chronologically and in Exodus 28 the word 'curious' girdle (mentioned three times) kept jumping out at me. So I went to Blue Letter Bible (Internet resource) and looked up this word.....wanting to know why God used the word curious.

Hebrew is machashebheth, periergos = thought, device, design. It then referenced Psalm 139:15 saying - "is used figuratively of a child in the womb, the body of the fetus is described as woven together of so many different coloured threads, like a cunning and beautiful network of tapestry".

My spirit was so moved and God placed the image in my mind and with much impetus to paint it which I did.
