17. Jacob journeyed to Succoth —that is, "booths," that being the first station at which Jacob halted on his arrival in Canaan. His posterity, when dwelling in houses of stone, built a city there and called it Succoth, to commemorate the fact that their ancestor, "a Syrian ready to perish" [ Deuteronomy 26:5 ], was glad to dwell in booths. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-18" class="com-number"
