Simon the Zealot? Or Simon the Canaanite?
#2
Shlama Akhi Steve:
I would rather propose the confusion ???split word???? between [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0ynnq [/font] (Canaanite) and:
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0ynyq [/font]: smith, metalworker (very similar word, something like your ???Simon the potter??? or ???ceramist???, instead of ???the leper???)
or maybe:
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0nq [/font] : to buy or it???s relative (Simon ???the buyer????),
Or also:
related to the (Hebrew) word 'nq: ZELOUS (Hence the confusion!)...
The main thing is that IN THE TIME OF JESUS, ???ZEALOTS??? DIDN???T YET EXIST! They appeared later (70s), therefore, to call Simon ???the Zealot??? is a clear anachronism.

[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)] Fwx0b [/font]
