A shoe maker in the Old Testament (5)
I believe the answer is:
hosea
'the old testament' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a shoe maker' is the wordplay.
'maker' is an anagram indicator (can make this from the letters).
'a'+'shoe'='ashoe'
'ashoe' anagrammed gives 'HOSEA'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hosea that I've seen before include "Good book" , "bookmaker" , "OT prophet" , "Book writer" , "Hebrew prophet; book of Bible" .)
