Then it's the toolmaker. Then the firemaker. Blacksmith next, who needed to harden the iron with fire.

Your firemaker and blacksmith qualify for the 'Ice Cold' category because their professions are honest and they produce what's real.

Realize it's a lot to take in but the direct answer to your implied question is a simple 'yes'.

The oldest profession is being a God......... Q.E.D.! 😛

please take at least two guesses, since your first one will probably prove wrong.[/b]

I didn't ask or even imply a question. I made a statement.

I base that second guess on this:

"A profession is a vocation founded upon specialised educational training, the purpose of which is to supply disinterested counsel and service to others, for a direct and definite compensation, wholly apart from expectation of other business gain".

Since training is required for a field to be considered part of the professional field, when those members of the first family offered acceptable sacrifices, they were necessarily participating and passing on the profession of a priest.
