Jesus and his father were likely stone workers, not carpenters. The translations got jumbled up along the way.
There historically was a stone quarry about a mile from where Jesus lived as a child. That area also wasn't home to a lot of trees.
There is also a lot of house and stone work parables in the his teachings, and references to corner stones multiple times.
Jesus was a stone worker, not a wood worker. His name was also Yeshua, or "Joshua" as we know it today.
That's really interesting. Thanks!
