In the Biblical Text: Does it mention that one of the prophets to have been a tent maker by trade?

And yes, I'm still the devout heathen I've always been and ever shall be.

    Paul apparently took up tent making while on his missions because he did not start that way, he worked for the Sanhedrin before his conversion.

    Paul wasn't a prophet, but he was a tent-maker. He was an apostle. Difference between a prophet and an apostle, for the record :)

    (Acts 18:1-3) . . .After these things he departed from Athens and came to Corinth. 2 And he found a certain Jew named Aq′ui·la, a native of Pon′tus who had recently come from Italy, and Pris·cil′la his wife, because of the fact that Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome. So he went to them 3 and on account of being of the same trade he stayed at their home, and they worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.

    paul did that occupation

    KJV: Acts Chapter 18

    [1] After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

    [2] And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

    [3] And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
