Description of Botanical Coloring Page: Flax  is  the  earliest  material  known  to  have been  manufactured  for  clothing  purposes.  The mummies  of  Egypt  were  always  wrapped  up  in linen; and  in  the  sculptures  on  Egyptian  temples the  cultivation  of  flax,  and  the  processes  of  preparation, spinning,  and  weaving  linen  are  represented. Linen  was  used  for  the  curtains  and hangings  of  the  Tabernacle  (Exodus  26),  and  for  the ephod,  breastplate,  coat,  breeches,  girdle,  bonnet, and  mitre  of  the  high-priest  (Exodus.  27-29).  The body  of  the  Lord  was  wrapped  in  linen  cloths before  being  laid  in  the  grave  (John  19. 40,  and  20: 5,  7).  Flax  is an  annual  plant,  which  has  a  quantity of  fine,  tough  fibers  in  its  stem.  It  is  still cultivated  in  the Middle East,  and  the  species  used  for making  linen  may  be  found  as  an  escape  from cultivation  growing  on  hillsides.  It  ripened earlier  than  the  wheat,  and  suffered  with  the barley  in  the  plague  of  hail,  for  it  was  full-grown,  and  the  flowers  were  open  (Exodus  9.  31).
