Engraving or carved inscription, especially gem engravings on the priestly vestments
Refers to the skilled craft of incising designs or letters into hard materials such as stone and metal. Nearly all occurrences cluster in Exodus 28 and 39, describing the engraved gems of the high priest's breastplate and ephod — each stone bearing a tribal name cut like a signet seal. The Spanish 'grabado' and English 'engraving' both highlight the incised, permanent quality of the work, befitting inscriptions meant to endure before God.
Senses
1. engraving, carved work — The act or product of carving letters or designs into stone, metal, or gems. Concentrated in priestly vestment instructions (Exod 28:11, 21, 36; 39:6, 14), where tribal names are engraved on onyx stones and breastplate gems 'like the engravings of a signet.' Spanish 'grabado/grabados' and English 'engraving/engravings' converge on the idea of permanent incised craftsmanship, distinguishing this from relief carving or molding. 11×
