Paul: Tent, Saddle or Tallit Maker?
Posted by Lev/Christopher on August 28, 2008 at 7:41am in Notes
In a private blog we were having a discussion on headcoverings and it was suggested that Sha'ul was not a tent-maker but a "little-tent" or Tallit-maker. I have been reading around looking for reliable sources but all the commentators say they heard it from someone else and that there is no concrete scholarly evidence
e.g. http://www.rabdavis.org/tallit_in_the_nt.htm
Does anyone have anything reliable they can offer?
However, the Peshitta says that Sha'ul and Aquila were "fellow craftsmen" and that they were "saddle makers" (Ac.18:2-3, HRV).
Since the Greek MSS say "tent-maker" and the Aramaic Peshitta says "saddle maker", I should like to know why the RSTNE uses "tallit-maker". On what MS authority is this rendition given?
