Exegesis
The coordination and the participle veorgim {וְאֹרְגִים | wə-ʾôr-gîym} ‘and weavers’ introduce a parallel group, followed by chorai {חוֹרָי | ḥô-rāy} ‘white cloths’, specifying their craft. This cumulative syntax from general laborers to specialized artisans emphasizes the comprehensive nature of the coming humiliation. English renders these appositional participles as relative clauses to preserve clarity.
In context — Isaiah 19:9
And the workers of flax shall be ashamed, those making combed threads , and the weavers of white cloths.
