Here's why:
* Aramaic is a language, not a single word: Aramaic encompasses various dialects and historical periods.
* Different words for carpenter and teacher: The words for "carpenter" and "teacher" are distinct in Aramaic:
* Carpenter: The Aramaic word for carpenter varies by dialect. Some possibilities include: "naggar" (נְגָּר) or "naggar" (נְגַּר).
* Teacher: The Aramaic word for teacher is "melammed" (מְלַמֵּד).
While there isn't a single word for both, it's important to note that Jesus, who was a carpenter and considered a teacher by many, was a first-century Galilean Jew. While Hebrew was his native language, Aramaic was the common language in Galilee at that time.
