<p> ''''' tan´ẽr ''''' ( βυρσεύς , <i> ''''' burseús ''''' </i> , from βύρσα , <i> ''''' búrsa ''''' </i> "a hide"): The only references to a tanner are in &nbsp; Acts 9:43; &nbsp;Acts 10:6 , &nbsp;Acts 10:32 . The [[Jews]] looked upon tanning as an undesirable occupation and well they might, for at best it was accompanied with unpleasant odors and unattractive sights, if not even ceremonially unclean. We can imagine that Simon the tanner found among the disciples of Jesus a fellowship which had been denied him before. Peter made the way still easier for Simon by choosing his house as his abode while staying in Joppa. Simon's house was by the seashore, as is true of the tanneries along the [[Syrian]] coast today, so that the foul-smelling liquors from the vats can be drawn off with the least nuisance, and so that the salt water may be easily accessible for washing the skins during the tanning process. These tanneries are very unpretentious affairs, usually consisting of one or two small rooms and a courtyard. Within are the vats made either of stone masonry, plastered within and without, or cut out of the solid rock. The sheep or goat skins are smeared on the flesh side with a paste of slaked lime and then folded up and allowed to stand until the hair loosens. The hair and fleshy matter are removed, the skins are plumped in lime, bated in a concoction first of dog dung and afterward in one of fermenting bran, in much the same way as in a modern tannery. The bated skins are tanned in sumach (Arabic <i> ''''' summāḳ ''''' </i> ), which is the common tanning material in Syria and Palestine. After drying, the leather is blackened on one side by rubbing on a solution made by boiling vinegar with old nails or pieces of copper, and the skin is finally given a dressing of olive oil. In the more modern tanneries degras is being imported for the currying processes. For dyeing the rams' skins red (Ex 25 ff) they rub on a solution of <i> ''''' ḳermes ''''' </i> (similar to cochineal; see [[Dyeing]] ), dry, oil, and polish with a smooth stone. </p> <p> [[Pine]] bark is sometimes used for tanning in Lebanon. According to Wilkinson ( <i> [[Ancient]] Egypt </i> , II, 186), the Arabs use the juice of a desert plant for dehairing and tanning skins. The skins for pouches are either tawed, i.e. tanned with a mineral salt like alum, or treated like parchment (see [[Parchment]] ). About [[Hebron]] oak branches, chopped into small chips, are used for tanning the leather bottles or water skins. In this case the hair is not removed. The tanning is accomplished, after removing the fleshy matter, by filling the skin with oak chips and water, tying up all openings in the skins, and allowing them to lie in the open on their "backs," with "legs" upright, for weeks. The field near Hebron where they arrange the bulging skins in orderly rows during the tanning process presents a weird sight. These are the bottles referred to in the King James Version (the Revised Version (British and American) "skins") (&nbsp;Joshua 9:4 , &nbsp;Joshua 9:13; &nbsp;Hosea 7:5; &nbsp;Matthew 9:17; &nbsp;Mark 2:22; &nbsp;Luke 5:37 ). </p> <p> Leather was probably used more extensively than any records show. We know that the [[Egyptians]] used leather for ornamental work. They understood the art of making stamped leather. The sculptures give us an idea of the methods used for making the leather into sandals, trimmings for chariots, coverings of chairs, decorations for harps, sarcophagi, etc. There are two Biblical references to leather, where leather girdles are mentioned (&nbsp;2 Kings 1:8; &nbsp;Matthew 3:4 ). See also [[Crafts]] , II, 17. </p>

<p> ( '''''Βυρσεύς''''' , Hebraized in the [[Talmud]] as '''''בורסי''''' , also '''''בורסקי''''' ), the occupation of Simon of [[Joppa]] (&nbsp;Acts 9:43; &nbsp;Acts 10:6; &nbsp;Acts 10:32). This trade, on account of the bad smell connected with it (comp. Schol. on Aristoph. ''Eq.'' 44; Petron. Sat. 11), was despised among the Jews (Kethuboth, 7:10; Megillah, 3, 2; see Sch '''''Ö''''' ttgen, Hor. Heb. i, 447; Wettstein, N.T. 2, 516).

'''''—''''' Winer. (See [[Mechanic]]). The ancient Egyptians used the bark of various trees for tanning (Wilkinson, 2. 106). (See Leather). The tanneries of Joppa are now on the shore south of the cit(Thomson, ''Land And Book,'' 2, 281). Several circumstances, however, confirm the tradition of the present "house of Simon" there (Stanley, ''Palest.'' p. 269). (See [[Simon]]). </p>

tan´ẽr ( βυρσεύς , burseús , from βύρσα , búrsa "a hide"): The only references to a tanner are in   Acts 9:43;  Acts 10:6 ,  Acts 10:32 . The Jews looked upon tanning as an undesirable occupation and well they might, for at best it was accompanied with unpleasant odors and unattractive sights, if not even ceremonially unclean. We can imagine that Simon the tanner found among the disciples of Jesus a fellowship which had been denied him before. Peter made the way still easier for Simon by choosing his house as his abode while staying in Joppa.

( Βυρσεύς , Hebraized in the Talmud as בורסי , also בורסקי ), the occupation of Simon of Joppa ( Acts 9:43;  Acts 10:6;  Acts 10:32). This trade, on account of the bad smell connected with it (comp.

(See Mechanic). The ancient Egyptians used the bark of various trees for tanning (Wilkinson, 2. 106). (See Leather). The tanneries of Joppa are now on the shore south of the cit(Thomson, Land And Book, 2, 281).
