<BR>ASPASHSQE
<BR>
<BR>"Do not carry a bag, a sack, sandals, and you may not greet anyone by the
<BR>way."
<BR>
<BR>I have not read in any commentary a satisfactory interpretation of the
<BR>command to greet no one along the way.
<BR>
<BR>Is there possibly a meaning or an understanding of ASPASHSQE that would imply
<BR>that to greet someone could also have some sense of obtaining provisions?
<BR>
<BR>This would be consistent with the context about not carrying a bag, a sack or
<BR>sandals. In other words, the command would be not only to carry no
<BR>provisions, but also not to pick up any provisions on the road. The
<BR>missionaries would then be told to depend entirely on the provisions of the
<BR>households that receive them.
<BR>
<BR>Just stretching for an understanding.<g>
<BR>
<BR>Thanks,
