serapha Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Posting just of interest, In continuing to read and research, the 'tents" of Lehi could be attributed to another reasoning. If Lehi and family actually lived within the city of Jerusalem, then the probability of their wealth is derived from herds and commodities outside the city (in ancient times, the people lived within the walled cities and worked the lands and herds outside the walled cites, aka "from afar") , and therefore, a need to hire servants or acquire slaves to perform the work. The herdsmen would possibly be nomadics with a need for tents and beasts of burden to transport their tents and supplies. But then, the terminology of "in Jerusalem" meaning to actually live within the walls of Jerusalem draws the terminology of "in Jerusalem" meaning in the area of Jerusalem as to include Bethlehem or in the area of inheritance into a new question. ~still reading~ ~serapha~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
