Bible Question:
I remember reading once about a woman builder (constuction) in the Bible. I cannot remember where I found her--can you help me find her? It was an obscure reference, I believe. Thank you! JEP123 |
Bible Answer: jep123 I heard of this concept before, that women could be construction workes based off what Priscilla did for a living. I have no comment on women being construciton workes, but think using the scripture below for that is lengthening the meaning of it out. Acts 18:3 and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and they were working, for by trade they were tent makers. Priscill and her husband Aquilla and Paul were all tent makers - builders of tents, places where people could maybe live, or store goods. These tents were not made out of canvass, but out of animal skins sowed together into tents - so they were all leather workers primarily. This may not be the reference you were looking for, but I couldn't find anything else and had heard of the idea before. I tried looking under trade, build, builder, but found nothing else with a woman. tumbleweed, God's Own |
