הַ/שְּׁתִי֙
𐤄/𐤔𐤕𐤉
shᵉthîy
woollen
A fixed set of threads running lengthwise in a loom through which the transverse threads (weft) are woven. In biblical use, refers specifically to the foundational threads (warp) stretched taut before weaving begins, providing structural stability for fabric production. The term is sometimes used metonymically for the process of weaving or cloth production as a whole, but strictly refers to the longitudinal threads in contrast with the weft ('erev').

the fixed warp-threads
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute with definite article (הַשְּׁתִי). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שְׁתִי derives from שית ('to set, fix') and denotes the longitudinal threads set in place on a loom. The definite article הַ and masculine singular absolute form are reflected in the rendering 'the fixed warp-threads,' preserving both definiteness and the idea of threads established in position. |
