This verb describes the intricate work of weaving or knitting together, used metaphorically for God's creative act in forming a human being in the womb. The psalmist marvels, 'You wove me together in my mother's womb,' recognizing divine craftsmanship in human formation. The image suggests not random assembly but careful, artistic construction—threading different elements together to form a coherent whole. The parallel form in Job uses the same root to describe being woven with bones and sinews. This biological poetry sees the Creator as master craftsman, weaving the fabric of human life.
