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