Bible Question: We have been studying Paul and if he was married. I have studied before that he was married to a Sanhedrin woman. He was part of the Sanhedrin tribe and to be a part ofthe tribe, he had to be married. But, I can't remember where it is in the bible. Does anyone know and where is it in the bible? |
Bible Answer: The Sanhedrin was not a tribe. The Sanhedrin was the "supreme court" for the Jews. It consisted of 71 great Torah sages. The Rabbis who were the members of the Sanhedrin had all received Semichah, the formal passing over of the tradition from their teachers. (This was a kind of way in which the teacher zotted the student who became a teacher who zotted the next student etc. All of them supposedly coming straight down from the 70 elders associated with Moses.) |
