Listen from:
As tents were made of skins, goats’ hair, etc., and small ones of linen, their manufacture embraced a variety of labor, and the precise nature of Paul and Aquila’s work as tentmakers cannot be ascertained (Acts 18:33And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. (Acts 18:3)). Tarsus, Paul’s native city, was noted for the manufacture of tents. They were commonly made of cilicium, so named from Cilicia. It was a kind of strong cloth woven from the long hair of the goats of that province. All Jews learned a trade, to which they could turn if needful.
