'ohel ( Genesis 9:21,27 ). This word is used also of a dwelling or habitation ( 1 Kings 8:66 ; Isaiah 16:5 ; Jeremiah 4:20 ), and of the temple ( Ezekiel 41:1 ). When used of the tabernacle, as in 1 Kings 1:39 , it denotes the covering of goat's hair which was placed over the mishcan. Heb. mishcan ( Song of Solomon 1:8 ), used also of a dwelling ( Job 18:21 ; Psalm 87:2 ), the grave ( Isaiah 22:16 ; comp 14:18), the temple ( Psalm 46:4 ; 84:2 ; 132:5 ), and of the tabernacle ( Exodus 25:9 ; 26:1 ; 40:9 ; Numbers 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.). Heb. kubbah ( Numbers 25:8 ), a dome-like tent devoted to the impure worship of Baal-peor. Heb. succah ( 2 Samuel 11:11 ), a tent or booth made of green boughs or branches (see Genesis 33:17 ; Leviticus 23:34,42 ; Psalm 18:11 ; Jonah 4:5 ; Isaiah 4:6 ; Nehemiah 8:15-17 , where the word is variously rendered). Jubal was "the father of such as dwell in tents" ( Genesis 4:20 ). The patriarchs were "dwellers in tents" ( Genesis 9:21,27 ; 12:8 ; 13:12 ; 26:17 ); and during their wilderness wanderings all Israel dwelt in tents ( Exodus 16:16 ; Deuteronomy 33:18 ; Joshua 7:24 ). Tents have always occupied a prominent place in Eastern life ( 1 Samuel 17:54 ; 2 Kings 7:7 ; Psalm 120:5 ; Song of Solomon 1:5 ). Paul the apostle's occupation was that of a tent-maker ( Acts 18:3 ); i.e., perhaps a maker of tent cloth.
