Subject: What is a tent-maker? |
Bible Note: Just to add a note - Tent making was a trade that was highly esteemed and poorly paid. Also, in relation to Paul, according to Eermans Bible Dictionary it is also probable that it was also used of leatherworkers and therefore, that Paul could of been a leatherworker. It also added that older commentaries suggest that Paul was a weaver of goat's hair, a trade associated with Cilicia, the apostles home, but Paul probably learned his trade in Jerusalem. |
