Tent

From BibleWiki

1. Heb. 'ohel (Gen 9:21, 27). This word is used also of a dwelling or habitation (1 Kg 8:66; Isa 16:5; Jer 4:20), and of the temple (Ezek 41:1). When used of the tabernacle, as in 1 Kg 1:39, it denotes the covering of goat's hair which was placed over the mishcan.
2. Heb. mishcan (Song 1:8), used also of a dwelling (Job 18:21; Ps 87²), the grave (Isa 22:16; comp. 14:18), the temple (Ps 46⁴; 84:2; 132:5), and of the tabernacle (Ex 25:9; 26:1; 40:9; Num 1:50, 53; 10:11). When distinguished from 'ohel, it denotes the twelve interior curtains which lay upon the framework of the tabernacle (q.v.).
3. Heb. kubbah (Num 25:8), a dome-like tent devoted to the impure worship of Baal-peor.
4. Heb. succah (2 Sam 11:11), a tent or booth made of green boughs or branches (see Gen 33:17; Lev 23:34, 42; Ps 18¹¹; Jonah 4:5; Isa 4:6; Neh 8:15-17, where the word is variously rendered).

Jubal was "the father of such as dwell in tents" (Gen 4:20). The patriarchs were "dwellers in tents" (Gen 9:21, 27; 12:8; 13:12; 26:17); and during their wilderness wanderings all Israel dwelt in tents (Ex 16:16; Deut 33:18; Josh 7:24). Tents have always occupied a prominent place in Eastern life (1Sam 17:54; 2Kg 7:7; Ps 120⁵; Song 1:5). Paul the apostle's occupation was that of a tent-maker (Acts 18:3); i.e., perhaps a maker of tent cloth.
