Sitting

The attitude generally assumed in Palestine by those who were "engaged in any kind of work. "The carpenter saws, planes, and" "hews with his hand-adze, sitting on the ground or upon the plank" "he is planning. The washerwoman sits by the tub; and, in a word," no one stands when it is possible to sit. Shopkeepers always "sit, and Levi sitting at the receipt of custom (Matt. 9:9) is" "the exact way to state the case.", Thomson, Land and Book."
